He's been having a BAD time..
Chapters5
Discusses how the dog abuse clip propelled the figure into public critique and the cultural signals it sent about American values.
Asmongold reacts to a wave of political clips and viral moments, linking dog treatment scandals and wealth discourse to broader cultural and political tensions.
Summary
Asmongold dives into a rambling montage of recent online moments and commentary, focusing on how public figures are perceived through viral clips. He references Colorgate and the dog-abuse meme as touchpoints for larger cultural judgments, arguing that such isolates reveal deeper Western and American value clashes. Throughout the segment, he juxtaposes critiques of Hassan, Luigi, and various interview moments (including a Whole Foods exchange) to illustrate how media framing can shape perception more than the actions themselves. The thread running through his analysis is skepticism about moral absolutism online and concern about how accusations of violence or “social murder” can escalate political discourse. He also touches on wealth concentration, media bias, and the tension between individual ethics and systemic power. The tone is combative and reflexive, with Asmongold challenging viewers to consider what counts as credible outrage and what it means when culture war rhetoric dominates the conversation. The discussion culminates in questions about how much influence public figures should have over violence, policy, and corporate power—and whether normalization of extreme rhetoric leads to real-world consequences. Overall, the video is a sharp, opinionated recap of recent viral moments and their symbolic weight in online politics.

He's he's really he's been having a bad time. He's really been having a bad time lately. Huh. This is just atrocious judgment. And I was glad to see many Democrats going online saying, "We don't want this guy as the symbol of our party." There's the other thing is just I'm sorry. I look at this guy and it's like the the most the the thing that you know sort of made him percolate up outside of his own entity was the fact that he was abusing his dog on on an internet stream. I I get this. I remember that?
Yeah. Get the Yeah, he's shock shock color. They all know about it. That's the m Dude, how is it that that's the one thing everybody knows you for? You're not a fan. We We got to We got to Sandra. Uhhuh. To speak any moment now at the White House. Uh we are told that will be about healthcare. That's so funny. Rules on marijuana. We're going to have that for you next. That's so funny. They had to cut it off. They had to Uhhuh. Yeah. They had to cut it. That is, for the record, this right here is quite literally the um What is it?
This right here is the straight news coverage. Okay. What? This is the second time today. Expect prime time host to follow suit later today. Yeah. Here's the reason why Colorggate matters. And I think a lot of people, nobody's ever really saying this. It matters because it shows that if it's true, it's an indicator of a fundamentally non-American, nonwestern value on a very, very deep moral level. The way that a lot of other cultures treat dogs is vastly different than the way American culture treats dogs. Seeing somebody do that to a dog is culture shock. And I think that the reason why it was so viral, I mean, besides the fact he tried to hide it and cover it up, etc., is that it is like a direct frame indicator that this person is on a very profound level culturally unamerican.
That's a big reason why. I think it is. It's like Aspen. Yeah. Different values. And so it reveals the facade and and that's that's one of the reasons why I think a lot of people talked about it. Son's not going to like that one. Sure. Right. You you can say that and and he can say I love the dog. I I think Hassan probably takes good care of the dog. Right. I'm not saying he's abusing his dog. I'm not even saying that. But I'm saying that like you see that clip and you see what he's saying.
It's obvious how people come to that conclusion. It is. It's obvious. Like I like, oh, but what about 50 other times I did this other thing with the dog. They're not seeing that. They didn't see that. It's hard to climb moral superiority. Is wild from the smartest live out. What is this here? No. Palmer lucky. I know everyone is busy talking about the New York Times interviewer smiling and nodding enthusiastically as Susan [ __ ] says the murder of Brian Thompson is understandable because he was guilty of social murder, but I want to focus on him electrocuting.
He knows, bro. Everybody knows about this. Everybody knows. It's just Yeah. Well, yeah. Isn't that the guy that Isn't that the guy that shocked his dog? Oh, yeah. I remember that. Yes. It's the leg. It's his legacy. It is. It's his legacy. Oh, he post the meme. Oh no. Oh my [ __ ] god. I have my [ __ ] dog. Oh my god. Shocked as dog. The best part is this particular incident inspired people to go back through his streams and find dozens more. The the dog just caught its nail on something and all the people disappeared instantly.
They So he even knows the background. Oh, I went back to the basics criticizing for what he does on Twitch was true back then when only terminally online gamers cared about him and it remains true to today. He knows the lore. Yeah. I mean, this guy, he's a real one, man. He is. And uh I like him. Wow. Yeah. Suck 100 bridges. Yeah, bro. As I said, um you know, go to 100 political rallies and you shock one dog. You're not a political activist. You're a dog zapper. That's it. Oh my [ __ ] god. And uh respect people.
It [ __ ] should be illegal. I know. And uh yeah, from the fridge to the FV, Ka should be free. It was really crazy. like he probably lost like a 100,000 followers over that. It is [ __ ] insane. And uh Oh, let me go back. I I'll look at this later on, but uh let me let me finish this off because there were some more of these that happened, too. The Whole Foods. This is embarrassing. This honestly like one of the most embarrassing interviews that like he's ever done. It's so sad. We're going to watch it. Y'all ready?
You're not currency scheme that people are engaging in. Would you steal from Whole Foods? You want to go first? Well, guys, I'm I'm I'm pro stealing from big corporations cuz, you know, they they steal quite a bit more from their own workers. Uh, however, uh, one thing that might even help your ethical dilemma, uh, is is the fact that the Yeah. By the way, like if somebody if somebody like got into Hassan's account and they said that, you know, well, we're going to try to hack into your account and then have the money from this corporation of Amazon go to us instead of you.
I think that he would be upset about that, but they would be stealing from a big corporation. I think that they I think he'd be upset. Didn't watch yesterday. Is this the whole thing? And there's another one about the Luigi thing. And I'm going to look at it. This is so cringe. Yeah. Automated process that they designed. Um, these companies know will increase shrink, right? Um, so it's it's actually factored in the lemons that you stole are factored into the bottom line of these mega corporations regardless. And they still the whole thing as free buses and also governmentowned uh storefronts and uh you know two of those policies can some of the mods find me the Luigi clip about this cuz like that was the one I wanted to talk about this beautiful city is currently working on would you encourage stealing in the same way from a Mum Donnie run city-owned grocery store with lower prices I remember okay I did see this whole clip I thought honestly I thought there was more to it than that but uh maybe not let me go I I will even watch the uh the Destiny thing.
I I'll even look at this. Let me see how I find it. It's on your Reddit. I don't know if it is or not. Let me see this. I can't with young people today. Like, it's one thing if you like can't afford food or something, but when it's all these like decently wealthy yuppies that are like it's like their form of protest, like I'm going to shoplift. Why? What are you doing? Share your Netflix password. I do. I also do. Well, I uh with anyone. For the longest time, I actually had someone else's Netflix password.
That was my primary access to Netflix. And now you share your own. Yeah. Um would you get around a payw wall on an article you're trying to read? This is like the most bougie [ __ ] like Also, God the RZ. I wonder if he actually tries to time like I'll wake up 20 minutes before this interview so my voice can be as low as possible. Would you steal a book from the library? Mhm. Never. The yes for the museum thing. All of this you can just draw this on like the most slop lines. Um I don't Wait, did he say yes?
If they say yes, it's going to be because they have everything because of imperialism. Imperialism. Imperialism. So you should actually steal from every Western museum ever because imperialism. Imperialism. Imperialism. No. Would you um steal from the Louv? Yes. the automated process that they designed. Um, these companies I don't even understand like what is this? So, they stole it so I could steal it. Well, I mean, could somebody steal it from you? Like, how does this even how does this even work? No. Will increase shrink, right? the lemons that you Why do they say [ __ ] like this?
Like, it's just so obviously not true. Like, is some amount of loss factored into everything these do? Yes. But if everybody starts stealing, it's going to go up. Then obviously that number is going to go up and now everybody has to pay for it and that's not going to be factored in. Plays are just going to close. Like it's so crazy that these cringe [ __ ] because they never shop at these like [ __ ] poor places, right? These guys are in all the nice neighborhoods. They never have to deal with the ramifications of any of the crazy [ __ ] they say.
Um like this is why when you go to certain stores like everything is behind a [ __ ] lock now and it's just going to lead to more of it. Exactly what I [ __ ] see. Don't play by the rules. It is. We live in a society where there are billionaires where the top 1% holds 32% of the net worth and the bottom 50% holds 2.5%. Like, bro, Hassan, you are that 0001%. Like, does he not realize this? Like, how is he how is he sitting here having this conversation? Oh yeah, they're so bad. They're so bad. Jesus Christ.
You are the rich bro. Your family is the rich bro. Uh-huh. The social contract is broken. And then there's also the slippery slope of what happens if we completely break the social contract and no one plays by the rules anymore. And I wonder where you see the interplay of those two ideas, right? Well, the rules are already designed in a way where uh if you steal from the poor, you become rich. If you steal from the wealthy, you go to prison. Uh so there's only one That was so deep, dude. Oh my god, that was so [ __ ] deep.
It's so stupid. I can't with young people today. It's so [ __ ] stupid. I don't know how anybody thinks like this. Oh my god. And uh yeah, seventh grade logic. Yeah, this is like something I I read. Oh, here we go. Okay, so let me see if I can find this. And oh yeah, I just wanted to put this whole thing into a single image because it was so funny. Israel lover wants another Israel critic murdered. What else is new? What the [ __ ] does Israel have to do with it? What did Israel do? Okay, so this is the Luigi thing.
Okay, let me let me pull this up. Angles wrote, "All right, here we go. This is the other one I was going to watch." Engles wrote about the concept of social murder and Brian Thompson as the United Healthcare CEO was engaging in a tremendous amount of social murder, the systematized forms of violence, uh the the structural violence of poverty, uh the the for-profit uh paywalled uh see what happens when somebody thinks that Hassan is doing that when he's protecting people that are advocating for jihad. See, this is the reason why this system doesn't actually work.
It's because when you apply it in a real situation, you realize that if you had everybody operating off of this, the whole world would be chaos. Like because everybody is going to have a different definition of what social murder is. Like for example, if you think that if if you normalize the concept of social murder, that means that well now if people aren't giving you food at a store and aren't allowing you to pay for your food or you don't even though you don't have enough money, now they are kind of killing you because they're depriving you of nutrition.
So in that same reasoning, you can come to the conclusion that it's okay to kill them. That's the problem. system of of health care in this country and the consequences of that are tremendous amounts of pain, tremendous amounts of violence, tremendous amounts of deaths. And that was a fascinating story from for me because Americans are very draconian about crime and punishment. They're very black and white on this issue. And yet because of the pervasive pain that the private health care system had created for the average American. I saw so many people immediately understand why this death had taken place.
Angles. The problem with this is that the moment that you normalize political violence, you allow it for also yourself. This is the problem is that I don't want to have any political violence. I don't want to have anybody advocating for shooting people in public because here's the actual result of what happened with Luigi. Luigi shot a guy in the back in the back and he killed him. United Healthcare is continuing on as a company. A new CEO is probably taking his place by now and the company is probably operating about the same. And maybe the new CEO has more security.
That's it. So, it didn't even accomplish anything really. Understandable and justifiable are the same thing. Well, and the thing is, what is this here? Oh, they Oh, yeah. This is what I just saw before. Yeah, this is the uh Yeah, I mean, everybody can come up with an explanation for why it's okay to kill somebody else if they're crazy. Like this is the problem is that the moment that you create a system where people feel like there are some acceptable forms of vigilante justice, what happens is that everybody now defines it in a different way and everything is chaos.
You can't have a world that works that way. You you can't do this. Look at the United Healthcare stock. They're killing it. Yeah. How's the United Healthcare doing? Let me see here. United Healthcare. Oh, I apparently I looked it up at some other point. So, 5 years ago. Let's see here. Uh, well, no, it went down. It went down massively. Is this whenever the shooting happened? I I actually don't know when the shooting happened. I have no idea. Yeah, it went down massively. Policy changes. I have no idea about that. Uh, this shooting happened on December 4th.
Oh. Um, yeah, it went down a bit after that, too. But it was also up really high. Like, it's kind of hard to say. So, yeah. Okay. Apparently, this was something else that had happened. So, uh, yeah, because Trump cut Medicaid, they get less money. I see. Okay, that makes more sense. And, uh, yeah, I didn't even know that. All right, good. Like many social justice activists. And again, that the proestivism is lost. Some about the working class opening the port. It's about the violent destruction of anything and anyone can be deal an enemy of their ideology.
I think that also like whenever you greenlight any form of political violent extremism, you will have this happen like to people that you agree with like and it will like like Charlie Kirk obviously was one example of it happening to somebody on. And I can almost guarantee you that when some left-wing person gets shot, a lot of right-wing people aren't going to go out and say how sorry they are. They're not. And why is that? It's because all of the left-wing people decided to make Charlie Kirk into a meme and rationalize why it was okay to sit to shoot an unarmed man in the neck.
That's what it was. Trump did more damage to this corpo than Luigi. Yeah, of course he did. I mean, obviously, it's because Luigi didn't really do anything and he's going to go to jail and that's going to be it, right? There's nothing there there's there's nothing that matters, right? He supports terrorists. He's not supporting political violence. Yeah, exactly. And so this is the problem is that I I I think that Hassan should be very careful like making statements like this, especially as like a public figure because people will see these statements and they'll probably view this as like a green light for people to harass him or annoy him or something like that.
And I think that any form of political violence over a disagreement or over a law like that should be resolved with a legal dispute. And I think also especially I mean you you saw what happened like Luigi did do what he did and nothing happened. So uh yeah it's just embarrassing and uh what you said about oppressing people uh that you know is going to hurt you. I see the same thing with political violence. I think that we need to be a lot more aggressive with suppressing political violence and political violent speech. I do I think that we need to be way way harsher on this and I don't know why we're not.
And I think that the fact that we're not a lot harsher around this is allowing people to just basically be crazy and and violent and excessive and everything like that. And uh that video was very recent by the way. Yeah, it was like a few days ago, right? Uh stop saying nothing happened. Uh it's having reverberations within the culture. Well, what do you So I'm going to pull you up. What do you I mean do you think that it's akin saying Coline kids did nothing? Well, they didn't. I mean, they didn't change anything like Yeah.
Now we have So, you're right. Luigi did do something. Let me Let me be more specific. Luigi did not accomplish his goal. Luigi did not move people towards that goal. And this is the fundamental fantasy that a lot of these people live in is that they think that all these super rich and by their own admission and accusation sociopathic evil psychotic demons that are running these corporations are just going to decide, well, I guess they're going to kill us now. So that the jig's up, right? We're not going to play this game anymore. We're going to stop doing it.
What do you think they're going to do? They're going to implement a new Patriot Act. There's going to be a higher surveillance state. There's going to be more controls over speech. It's just normalizing it more and more. Seen by the fact New York Times is interviewing Assan about it. Yeah. Sure. And I I think that this is the problem though, right? Is that what is the conclusion of that normalization? What do you think the conclusion of that normalization is? The normalization of political violence and and accepting that. What do what do you think happens when you do that?
It happens more and more. Well, right. And what happens when it happens more and more? Like I I Yeah, duh. Like, so so then what happens after that? Like that that's like I I get it. I understand. I understand that's what you're saying, but like let's think beyond that. Corporos respond accordingly. You're using ambiguity. Why are you using ambiguity? Be more specific. Yeah, I'd like you to be more specific about that. What is accordingly? Yeah. What is accordingly to you? Let's find out. I'm confused by what you're asking specifically. That's what he said. How do you think corporations will respond when their uh leadership and people are getting killed?
How do you think that they will respond? Because you said that they will respond accordingly. What do you think that that response will mean? You're being vague. I think that I I think you're being vague because you you know the conclusion to this. I think that I think that you you you've worked out this logic this logic path and you you know this does not end in a good way. But we we'll see. We'll see what he says. I meant corporations won't be hurt like you said in the United Catholic. No, never. I've never been pulled up.
Okay. So, well, what I'm saying is that this is what I think the conclusions This seems like a misunderstanding. Who cares? Um, this is what I think is happening. I think that the more violence and political violence that's accepted, the more you'll have people that will rationalize and justify more security, uh, more surveillance, less freedom, and more control. I do think that a lot of the people that run these corporations are completely sociopathic, psychopathic people. I think that they are. And I think that's exactly the reason why you shouldn't do it because there's not going to be a world where those people just decide to lay down and uh be good boys now.
Like they're not going to do that. They're going to back channel with people in the government. They're going to use different tools that they have to manipulate public sentiment. They're going to shift the way that people see things. I I think that you vastly and tremendously underestimate how brutal, how severe, and how effective these people are. You would be shocked. And the idea that like Luigi and and this is the problem is that you're thinking inside of the grounds of morality of what's right and so there's no solution. There is fundamentally no solution to the human condition that the top 1% of people are so vastly like more resourceful, intelligent, stronger, more uh you know like better at planning, better at resource allocation.
Those small groups of people will always amass a disproportionate amount of wealth and power because that's the way that people are. That's it. And so more hair. Yeah, they're they're they're ruthless and brutal on a level that you can't even comprehend. Like you you you can't even you can't even predict what a person like that would do because again like it it's it's outside of the scope of what a normal person can even imagine. So tell them about isolated equ. Yeah, exactly. People have far too much power. They're too far gone. Well, what I'm saying is just like in a general sense, right?
And uh it still has to be allowed. No need for collusion when self-interest converge. Yes, George Carlin, I agree with you about that. Definitely. And uh o overwway o overall like is worth a million dollars. That's a lot of money, right? Exactly. And uh yeah, my point is with all this is that um shooting people because they made you mad is a very bad way to do things. And if you do things and you base things off of that, you will eventually have those people shoot you. That's just what's going to happen. You should never allow that to go down or any sort of behavior to normalize this at all.
And uh it just gets worse and worse and worse. So that's what my point is. Revolution always leads to a much worse situation. Well, they're just going to crack down on it more. You're not seriously suggesting that being rich means you're better. I think on average that's exactly what I'm suggesting. I think that they are astronomically a lot smarter, more driven, more resourceful, and more motivated than the average person. And it's not by a 2x multiplier. It's like a 50x multiplier. Are you suggesting that there's no correlation between IQ and wealth? Are you suggesting that there's probably no correlation between education and wealth or cognitive ability?
Do you really think that? I mean, do you really think this? Like, and I know there are exceptions to the rule. Some people get born rich. Do you think I'm talking about them? Do you think I'm talk like I thought we're having I thought we're having a convers like are are you one of these people that like you know because you can come up with like an exception or something like that like you very clearly we're not talking about this right this isn't what's being discussed. So why are you bringing up this like weird exception that's clearly not part of the conversation?
But wh why are you even Why are you even talking about this? This is an exponential. The more money you have, the more money you make. Yeah, I know that it it's clear tendency. Yeah. What is this here? Managed to escaped in good time. People have to deal with. Yeah, I I'm just I'm just going to time this guy out. I don't want to read it. I think it's not a clear tendency. It's not a clear tendency. It abs it absolutely is. If you look at IQ and wealth, there is a uh strong correlation. Uh extremely strong.
