Yes. Cant get me with "what-about-the-other-animals"
It was pretty obvious since you value an alleged dog shock collar more than brown babies
This mentality is so supremely unhelpful
You're creating an incredibly high barrier for change, which only leads to inaction. The more issues you tie together, the less consensus you can get
There is always another issue to point to. What about malaria? That kills more people each year than all global wars combined. When was the last time you donated to anti-malaria efforts?
We should be agreeing on the topic at hand, not attacking each other over separate issues. You'll never agree on every issue, but you can always agree on at least one issue
Which is why he shouldn't do whataboutism purity testing in a thread about Zionist censorship?
You're missing their point. Two things we know about Hasan:
Even if the latter is true, giving more weight to it than the former seems pretty disproportionate (imo).

Yeah guess what time changes and diets change. Also wow you really looked threw my comments just to find that? Lmaoooo
You got caught lying, take your L and move on
"I have animals slaughtered for me on a weekly basis and lie about it, but I'm deeply concerned about unsubstantiated rumors about a leftist streamer using a shock collar."
Least bad faith carnist.
