He denies using a shock collar on his dog, but looking at the evidence gathered through old videos, still frames from new videos, and from people who personally interacted with the dog would suggest that to be a lie. I do not know if he still uses a shock collar on his dog since the latest controversy.

Shock collars don't even work on dogs like Kaya. Their fur is too thick around their neck. You've completely fallen for a smear campaign.

    That's a fucking blog with no sources either. It's an opinion piece with no meat, no substance, nothing.

    Medium is not considered a good source in any space with serious adults talking about real issues.

    This "article" is as useless as your AI block of text about Hasan with 0 sources.

    You people are so fucking dumb.

    There is no way those prongs would hit Kaya's skin. I know that because I have a family member with the exact same brand of collar. Those prongs are pretty short, and you wouldn't even fucking bother. It is an excellent noisemaker for the dog. You can use it for long-range calling. It makes a loud beep and buzzes really well, and pretty much every dog is going to react to that.

    Combine that with the "evidence" given, anyone that believes he shocked his dog is dumber than a box of nails. Wow, someone here said they looked at stillframes! Motherfuckers do the exact same thing as moon landing denialists and flat earthers do. It is insane to me that a fucking 15 second clip is groundbreaking evidence these fucking mouthbreathers give for a thing that even if it was true, would be relatively fucking minor to them, but goddamn do they fall for the same shit every time.

    Nah dude. That fucking collar is a vibration collar. It also has shock capabilities, dingdong. You can put in and remove the fucking prongs really easily. I have seen the exact same fucking collar. But if you don't remove the prongs, you wouldn't fucking touch the dogs skin with that collar because those prongs were made for smaller dogs, but the vibrations and noise would be fine because those don't rely on skin contact. The fact that this doesn't matter to you is evident. It didn't make a noise in whatever clip you are talking about is because they didn't use it.

    Damn, I am on fucking fire answering these. What's your next fucking curveball? "Oh yeah, if I'm a paste eater, how come I'm all out of paste?" Donate money to an animal shelter and tell people to stop going to pet breeders. You would do more for animals that way than whatever the fuck you think you're doing here.

    It's the same conspiracy shit every time with the same shitty evidence. This isn't even difficult to counter, it would only convince the twelve year olds that make up Destiny and H3h3's audience.

    indicated that the prongs had been improperly removed and the opening taped over, instead of using a padded replacement cover for the underside, which they also sell. Indicating a rush job to hide the shock prongs.

    It does not indicate that. It does not disprove that, but it doesn't fucking indicate that. You know what it indicates? That it was improperly removed. Okay.

    Do you think he had fucking seconds to "hide" the evidence? Those things require very little time to remove. But he had to rush to hide the evidence that he himself provided??? Are you requiring a refill on that glue???

    Hasan has also had a guest who commented on the collar being very tight ("can't even fit one finger" was the quote), which would make sense for using a poorly fitted shock collar, which this one would be indeed.

    Or. Or. Or..., that he used a collar that was intended for smaller dogs. The one thing you can point out is that the guest did say the collar was tight. That's fucking it. And it's weird that he was able to "hide the evidence" of the shock prongs, but he didn't just hide the whole fucking collar or anything else. It's the fucking fascist mindset, where he is simultaneously smart enough to hide the evidence, but dumb enough not to hide the same evidence.

    Hasan also changed his story several times as well. He started by claiming it wasn't a shock collar, to them later claiming that it was a shock collar but that he had the prongs removed. I believe he changed it further, but those are the most relevant I believe.

    Damn, dude. So many fucking changes. How could you keep up, two is a really big number for you! If you don't use it as a shock collar, I wouldn't call it a shock collar. And he didn't. It's not a shock collar to me, even if it has shock capabilities, if it doesn't have prongs. That's pretty fucking logical to me, it only wouldn't be if I dropped bricks on my head for fun. Is that not logical to you? Ask your mom if that makes sense, she hasn't heard from you in a while.

    Explain to me why he bothered to dispose of the evidence so poorly but also not at all with all the time he had. Because he had fucking months to dispose of the evidence (remember, that clip was a couple months old before it went viral for this fake conspiracy shit.)

    That's not what an ad hominem is, dumb-dumb, take a Latin or Logic class. Please quote to me where you think I did an ad hominem and then provide a definition for it so I can laugh in your fucking face about another thing you don't know. You are doing a fallacy where you think my calling you a dumb idiot liar somehow negates all the points I brought up because your babybrain can't handle numbers higher than two, and somehow I can roast the shit out of you while simultaneously negating your points. The best you can get is that I said only fucking morons would believe the stupid shit you say, but even that fails to capture that I explained why it was stupid dumbass fucking bullshit lies that you managed to regurgitate from your master.

    It's just loser behavior over and over again because you simply repeated everything with nothing additional. Anyway, hope you get that Israel money or whatever you're in this for because you keep trying to high road lies like a foreign agent. Let me know when you have a fourth (wow, big number alert!) piece of evidence so I can take your argument seriously.

    No problem:

    First of; here's where I primarily source my definitions from, just so you can read along. But you can find similar wording elsewhere.

    Now, quoting just your latest reply where you deny using ad hominems-

    “dumb-dumb,” “dumb idiot liar,” “babybrain,” “stupid dumbass fucking bullshit lies,” “only fucking morons would believe…”

    These are all "Abusive ad hominem / name-calling" because they target my intelligence, character and credibility rather than my claims.

    “Let me know when you have a fourth … piece of evidence so I can take your argument seriously”; “you keep trying to high road lies”

    Here you're "Poisoning The Well" by trying to discredit any future claims or arguments I might bring.

    “hope you get that Israel money or whatever you’re in this for”; “like a foreign agent”

    Here you're applying a "Circumstantial Ad Hominem" by bringing in something irrelevant to the discussion, and sprinkling it with some "Bare Assertion Fallacy" given that you've given no basis for assuming that I'm allied with Israel or any other foreign power.

    regurgitate … from your master”; “Israel money”; “foreign agent”

    Here you're imploying the "Guilt by Association / Bias And Hominem" fallacy by discredit anything I say based on the same previous "Bare Assertion Fallacy".

    You are doing a fallacy where you think my calling you a dumb idiot liar somehow negates all the points…”

    Here you're abusing the "Tu Quoque / Appeal To Hypocrisy" fallacy by trying to claim that I do not understand the fallacies I mentioned, rather than engage with the actual points. It's also fallacious because my appeal to toning down the personal attacks on your comments came after I responded to your actual points.

    You also employed a few other non-ad hominem fallacies: a Straw man, an Appeal to Ridicule, A Red Herring / Irrelevant Conclusion as well as general Bullying / Intimidation (which is rhetorical and not strictly logical).

    And that was just in this last message.

    Stop working for these people.

    Dan Saltman is a tech entrepreneur and political podcaster who leverages his platform to advance Zionist interests, targeting pro-Palestine voices and justifying Israel's ongoing settler-colonial project in occupied Palestine.

    As founder of TinyChat — a video chat platform acquired in 2014 after receiving $1.5 million in funding from Sean "Diddy" Combs, amid allegations of its use in predatory behavior — Saltman built his career in online communications. He now serves as CEO of Redact.dev, a service that deletes users' digital footprints, which he promotes amid his own involvement in online activism. Saltman co-hosts the "Anything Else" podcast with Steven Bonnell II (Destiny), where he discusses politics and amplifies pro-Israel views to Western audiences.

    Saltman has repeatedly portrayed pro-Palestine advocacy as support for terrorism, directly accusing streamer Hasan Piker of promoting "terrorist propaganda" and "Hamas recruitment videos." In September 2025, he endorsed calls to ban Piker from Twitch, claiming Piker's content encourages violence and supports terrorist organizations, while framing criticism of Israel as antisemitism. This rhetoric dehumanizes Palestinians by equating their resistance to Israel's occupation with inherent threats, perpetuating consent for settler violence.

    Saltman orchestrated a widespread disinformation campaign against Twitch, accusing the platform of fostering antisemitism by allowing pro-Palestine speech. He mobilized supporters to pressure advertisers, leading to temporary pauses in spending by companies like JPMorgan and AT&T in late 2024. This effort aimed to suppress voices critical of Israel's actions in Gaza, where the confirmed death toll exceeds 40,000 — a conservative estimate, as Israel's destruction of infrastructure and targeting of journalists has halted accurate counting, with the actual number slaughtered well into the hundreds of thousands. Saltman's actions align with broader Zionist efforts to weaponize antisemitism accusations against dissent, shielding Israel from scrutiny over its apartheid policies and ethnic cleansing in the West Bank and Gaza.

    His associations extend to content creators like Ethan and Hila Klein of the H3 Podcast and Destiny's community, with whom he has collaborated on attacks against Piker, viewing him as a threat due to his effective advocacy for Palestinian liberation. Saltman's push to repeal Section 230 appears motivated by a desire to further censor online criticism of Israel. Twitch banned him indefinitely in November 2024 for "extreme harassment," including doxxing and targeting employees who refused to comply with his demands.

    This pattern of behavior is not isolated but part of a consistent effort to normalize Israel's settler-colonialism, obscure Palestinian suffering under occupation and genocide, and manufacture public consent for ongoing violence.

    Eh, it's a bit of a mix of mild dyslexia and previously alliteration for memory. I've got some level of ADHD/ADD so I've had to build up some interesting ways to remember things, but sometimes it misfires.

    I've corrected it where I saw it, but given that Saltman was irrelevant to the original points I made, I don't really think misspelling his name has any bearing.

    But it's interesting if you consider misspelling an unrelated name enough reason to dismiss substantive points. That would indicate that you're looking for a reason to dismiss without engaging with the substance.

    Is that true, and if so, why?

    Saltman literally started the shock collar rumor.

    It's not misspelling, you mixed two very different people up multiple times even though I told you each time we weren't talking about Sam Altman.

    Considering your refusal to look into any of this yourself (playing dumb about the connection between Dan, Destiny, and Hasan makes this incredibly clear), I'm only here to banter. I don't and won't take you seriously anymore.

    This is the exact game that DGG orbiters play and I wasn't born yesterday. I told you I'm not going to take you seriously anymore, it's pointless when you're playing dumb. Trying to claim you have no idea what Hasan's politics are while you are talking about Hasan in a political community is asinine. Claiming that you couldn't find any link between Destiny and Hasan is similarly asinine. Having 0 sources for any of the bullshit you're claiming is asinine. Claiming that it's just too hard to source your claims is also asinine.

    You gave the game away.

    Just look at the length of this reply to me. LOOK AT IT.

    Take a fraction of the time it took for you to play this "I don't know what you're talking about" game to actually research the topic.

    It's very clear to anyone reading our exchanges that you are playing dumb as an effort to continue this back and forth instead of actually providing any proof or sources to back up your claims.

    It's all a distraction so that your lies get pushed without any verification.

    2025–present: Campaign activity In 2025, Piker began campaigning for political candidates.[72][2] Piker has appeared with political candidates during campaigns that sought support from popular internet personalities to reach voters online.[73] He has also supported candidates online. Piker said he was "very clear" that he was not "some socialist kingmaker", believing the media was not "that powerful".[74][75]

    In the 2025 New York City mayoral election, Piker expressed support for Zohran Mamdani, and Mamdani appeared on Piker's stream.[76] During the campaign, Mamdani's political opponents used Piker's past remarks, especially his 2019 comment that "America deserved 9/11", in attacks against Mamdani, including in a televised advertisement aired by a pro-Andrew Cuomo super PAC.[77] Mamdani disavowed Piker's comments during a mayoral debate, calling them "objectionable and reprehensible".[78]

    During a March 2026 livestream, Piker helped raise more than $56,000 for congressional candidate Oliver Larkin.[79] Wired called this an example of content creators using their online influence for direct fundraising.[79]

    Piker rallied in Philadelphia with state representative Chris Rabb during the 2026 primary for Pennsylvania's 3rd congressional district, which Rabb went on to win in May.[80][81][82] Piker also campaigned for and hosted Adam Hamawy on stream during his run in New Jersey's 12th congressional district. Hamawy won his primary in June. Another congressional candidate Piker endorsed, hosted, and campaigned for, Saikat Chakrabarti, finished third in the nonpartisan primary for California's 11th congressional district, failing to advance to the general election.[74]

    In June 2026, Piker was refused entry to the UK alongside Cenk Uygur, which he argued was "due to my criticism of Israel". The UK Home Office said the decision was due to Piker's "potential risk" and because his presence "may not be conducive to the public good".[83][84][85][86] Free speech activists criticized the decision.[87] He had been invited to speak at the Oxford Union and SXSW London. The Oxford Union said Piker would deliver his speech via livestream.[88][89][90] Piker said the decision showed the "fascist" direction the "Western world" was taking.[91]

    Ahead of the 2026 Democratic primaries for the House of Representatives in New York, Piker campaigned at a June event in Bushwick, Brooklyn, for Claire Valdez and Darializa Avila Chevalier, who went on to win the Democratic nominations in New York's 7th and 13th districts, respectively.[92] That same month, Piker hosted Melat Kiros on his stream ahead of her primary challenge to Diana DeGette in Colorado's 1st congressional district.[93][94] Kiros defeated DeGette in her primary.[95]

    During the 2026 Democratic Party primaries in Michigan, Piker campaigned for Democratic candidate Abdul El-Sayed. Two of El-Sayed's opponents, Mallory McMorrow and Haley Stevens, criticized Piker's involvement based on past remarks, particularly about the Israeli–Palestinian conflict.[96][97] Democratic State Representative Carrie Rheingans chose not to participate in the event with Piker while continuing to support El-Sayed.[98] Piker's involvement in the Michigan primary became a source of division within the Democratic Party.[99][100] El-Sayed won the primary.[101] Piker also campaigned with Donavan McKinney, who defeated incumbent Shri Thanedar in the August primary for Michigan's 13th congressional district.[102] That month, former Missouri congresswoman Cori Bush, who had campaigned with Piker at a May Day rally in St. Louis, lost her bid for the Democratic nomination in Missouri's 1st congressional district to her successor, Wesley Bell.[103][104]

    This pattern of behavior is not isolated but part of a consistent effort to normalize Israel's settler-colonialism, obscure Palestinian suffering under occupation and genocide, and manufacture public consent for ongoing violence.

    I’ll admit, I’m not as versed in the political aspects of it all. I’m not entirely sure who supports which groups and what exactly each of their stated or unstated goals are, but it seems clear to me that there’s some level of intentional narrative being spun and manipulated, even if I don’t know by who or for what. It’s just too aggressively managed and curated to not be entirely intentional.

    What are you even doing in threads like these then?

    You're here only to spread baseless misinformation about Hasan? Interesting.

    This thread isn’t political in nature.

    We're in the politics community. Coming in to threads like these with an AI summary of Hasan and claiming that you don't know his politics is weird. It's weird.

    nor is it baseless as I do try to add proof when requested,

    Really? There's 0 sources in your original comment:

    https://sh.itjust.works/post/69052562/28178535

    that would take an age especially considering nobody else does so either,

    I pull sources all the time, it's not nearly as hard as you're trying to make it sound.

    You can try to discredit me baselessly, but that would be misinformation, bordering on disinformation.

    I don't need to discredit you baselessly, you discredited yourself when you straight lied that you couldn't find a link between Dan Saltman, Destiny, and Hasan. That's pure bullshit.

    I’m not saying it’s hard at all, I’m saying it’s time-consuming.

    So is "painstakingly hand typing" out a huge block of information about a person whose politics you aren't sure about. Why wouldn't you take the time to back up your claims with sources if you're already spending so much time typing it up?

    You don't know how to search for and verify information on the internet?
