after someone provides a video of the abuse, has a lengthy discussion about the plausibility of theories like "it's a GPS collar" and goes through individual frames to show what they're talking about or timelapses of a longer amount of the stream
This is an awful lot of effort for someone to go to just to convince me of how i should feel about a political commentator interacting with his dog.
As soon as you stop yourself to ask "is this really worth thinking this hard about," it becomes pretty clear that you're talking to someone a little too invested with the life of this public figure.
