    This was me with Ethan Klein/H3H3 over the past ~14ish months. Their podcast content used to be lighthearted Internet drama with funny soundbytes, but now the dude is having a major crashout about Gaza after rotting his brain with Israeli state propaganda media coverage. He’s always been an out-of-touch rich asshole, but now he’s so far out of pocket it’s unbearable to watch.

      His wife is Israeli isnt she? I also thought they were pretty anti israel and she tried turning away from that life… I havent watched any of his videos since the “hugh mungus” era so I’ve no clue.

        They support Israel’s right to exist and were disgusted by October 7th. Idk what the OC is talking about, but this platform is filled with Hamas/Russian propaganda - as much as people see the Russian tankies, they don’t see the connection, apparently.

          You can’t be a Tankie and a supporter of Russia today. The USSR is gone. What are you even talking about? Do you even know what the words your using mean?

          An apartheid state does not have a right to exist. It must dismantle it’s systems of apartheid if it wishes to continue to exist.

        Turns out his free use of using the Nword and calling hasidic jews “dirty and nasty” meant he was actually just a bad guy. He just needed to find an outlet for hating brown people that people would support. He’s found it now.

      This is so dumb. Ethan s always been anti apartheid and settlements, but the Hassan fans got into a tiffy because he called them out for their unhinged - and they really are unhinged takes
