I don’t expect purity but I expect the ability to self-reflect and grow when personal behaviors are questioned by others who share a substantial amount of your world views. Instead of exploring his relationship with his dog (owner/accessory), he doubled down and his fanbase closed ranks to defend a behavior a lot of people find abhorrent. Treating animals like property and setting unrealistic expectations for their compliance while you use them as a backdrop is not a leftist virtue. A loyal audience is not there to normalize abusive behavior and run with the narrative “any questioning of what happened is a right wing attempt to undermine him”. A person can talk all the talk they want, if their walk doesn’t match the tone and they cannot accept that their views may occasionally need growth, fuck ‘em. We don’t need leftist demagogues, we need leaders and speakers with character who aren’t afraid to confront themselves and their beliefs.

> Instead of exploring his relationship with his dog (owner/accessory) All of this comment points to you needing to gain some emotional maturity. You sound as if you've either never owned a dog or have only ever owned already trained dogs. I can grab a piece of paper loudly and my dog will crumple as if I've beaten her every day of her life. Never hit her once. Never shocked her with a collar, only ever used the beeps and vibration. All I need to do is pick up the remote and she will *cower*. Mind you, I shower this dog with love every day and again — I've never once hurt her besides maybe stepping on her tail. I think *you* need to exhibit some personal growth here, tbh. If your reasons for disliking Hasan stem from this one incident vs the *blatant* hypocrisy he'd already shown (like purchasing a mansion) — you need to rethink some things.
