    Another of badempanada’s enemies in ruins. Say what you want about his methods but he gets results.

      was one of his videos an inciting incident for this? I don't know the full saga

        I mean I'm sure his videos are causing them some distress and maybe making them say more dumb shit but no this was hila just being stupid and not knowing that calling one of the idf's main guys "a good guy" wasn't going to be well received by non-israelis

    Thr only thing funnier than H3s continuous own goals is Hasans 100% effective strategy of sit-back-and-enjoy

    Ethan was never a good gateway to the left. People are just obsessed with racist white men being redeemed.

    And yes, plenty of people considered him part of the left-wing pipeline because he made fun of people like Ben Shapiro.

      He wasn't really ever a political guy to me, he seemed like one of those reaction/drama YouTubers who inevitably started talking about his dog shit politics because people pay more for that shit

        Agreed. I liked his early comedy / Youtub drama videos, and that was it.

        Though he never had good politics, even by liberal standards, at least he used to just not talk about it. He then just waded into it and wobbles thoughtlessly in every political direction without a single bit of cohesive thought behind anything he says. I still have genuinely zero idea why anyone likes it.

        I stopped watching when he started the podcast (especially given one of the earliest episodes had Jordan Peterson on and was just them fawning at his super massive intellect).

          I'm included in that list. Or rather, I had a vague notion of Hasan existing as a loud streamer guy and now watch him because of leftovers.

          I tend to think of it less like "H3 converted me to leftism" and more like I have been radicalizing because of a diversity of life experiences, and finding Hasan was just a small part of that but nonetheless part, and I don't feel I am alone based on how other Hasan chatters or h3 snark posters discuss it.

          Otherwise, you would also have to consider being hyperfixated on the fediverse to be the pipeline to the left - that is how I found hexbear which has also been part of my radicalization. As have dozens of other people in real life, situations in real life, and other content creators.

      I only or learned of him because of hasan and Sam seder. I don't understand his appeal without either of them

    Why was I such an asshole in high school and watched these people?

      Pre-politics, they had a few genuinely funny early comedy videos, I'd argue.

        Those low budget videos where it is Hila recording Ethan reacting to weird YouTube videos were funny. That's what actually got me into them.

      Its ok, i watched up until a month or two ago. I stopped watching 2017-2022 though for the mkst part. I cringed and skipped for the zionist segments that were pretty infrequent up until recently. I sort of regret it now but the crew at least were great.

      Also, its how i found hasan

    Perhaps they should also take the path of their idol and retire from entertainment
