One of Gen-Z’s Most Popular Dog-Abusing Communist Streamers Regrets USA Won the Cold War

Conservative News DailyNovember 9, 2025

Hasan Piker, a left-wing streamer who faced criticism for allegedly using a shock collar on his dog during live streams, recently stated that it was unfortunate the soviet Union lost the Cold War. Speaking at New york City Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani’s election night party-where he had been excluded from the VIP area-Piker expressed his view that the U.S., as the dominant imperial power that defeated the USSR, lacks class consciousness among its citizens. He suggested that despite this, many Americans are increasingly considering alternatives to the interests of billionaires and capital owners, which he finds somewhat encouraging.

Piker’s comments drew public attention following backlash over his use of a shock collar on his dog, Kaya, with followers and fellow streamers highlighting instances where the dog yelped during streams, implying misuse of the device. Experts note shock collars can cause stress and anxiety in dogs. Additionally, the article mentions that over 100 million people died under communist regimes, including the Soviet Union, which was established after the 1917 Bolshevik Revolution.

A left-wing streamer who apparently used a shock collar on his dog during a live stream said Tuesday night that it was unfortunate that the Soviet Union lost the Cold War.

Hasan Piker, whose use of the collar on his dog while streaming generated criticism from Vice President J.D. Vance, had earlier been kept out of the VIP area of Democratic Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani of New York City’s election night party. A reporter asked Piker about the fact that Mamdani won despite being labeled a “communist” by critics, including President Donald Trump.

“I think we are in the heart of the imperial core. This is the country that defeated the USSR, unfortunately, and the reality of the matter is, there’s a lot of antagonism,” Piker said. “There’s no class consciousness in the United States of America. It’s one of the things I try to address every day with my commentary.”

Hasan Piker just went full mask off at the Zohran election victory party, declares it a tragedy that the USA defeated the Soviet Union in the Cold War.

“And I will say this: The conditions have deteriorated so much that everyday Americans, in spite of their lack of class consciousness, are finally arriving at the conclusion that perhaps there is an alternative out there, there is an alternative that focuses on them, as opposed to the interests of the billionaires and millionaires, as opposed to the interests of the capital owners,” Piker continued. “And, I mean, you can’t help but notice that. You can’t help but feel at least a little bit of excitement around that.”

Over 100 million people died at the hands of communist regimes, led by the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, which was established in 1917 after the Bolshevik Revolution overthrew the Russian monarchy, according to the Victims of Communism Memorial Foundation.

Streamers and Reddit posters unearthed multiple instances of Piker apparently using the device or the threat of activating the device to keep his dog Kaya sitting in a more photogenic location during his live streams. Suspicions that Piker was using the device were sparked when Kaya yelped during one of Piker’s livestreams.

“He’s been using a shock collar on a setting so high that his dog F***ING SCREAMS when he uses it,” Tectone, a fellow streamer, said in an Oct. 7 post on X showing a clip where Piker appeared to activate a device placed under his desk just before the dog yelped.

Shock collars can cause dogs to suffer from stress and anxiety while also leading them to engage in less desirable behavior and aggression, according to Dogster.com.
