    Remember people ABEK-Always Bully Ethan Klein

    His ass is the main reason that the movement to deplatform hasan is gaining steam

        Ethan Klein is a dumbshit zionist who considers himself an important political commentator despite the fact he rose to prominence with a video called vape nation where he played a character that was a 10% exageration of his actual personality.

        His wife is literally former idf

        Hasan has pointed both of these things out.

        This has made Ethan very very upset and shockingly his fans have responded by alternating between calling hasan a terrorist and accusing him of being racist.

            then google it. mr. klein has been publicly feuding with hasan for months. people here are broadly familiar with that. you pushing the glasses up on your nose and saying, “um, actually, if events aren’t mentioned in the article from fox news, then they didn’t happen,” is asinine. no investigation, no right to speak

                Ethan formerly hosted a podcast with Hasan and they had a falling out over Israel. Ethan is now regularly scouring the subreddit of Destiny, another even more unhinged Zionist streamer. This is relevant because Destiny’s community is particularly focused and organized around deplatforming Hasan. They have Discords where they prepare copy to engage in mass emailing/call campaigns to get Hasan negative press and lost platform space. So this article is part of a larger pattern in which Hasan is suddenly coming under a lot of scrutiny in relation to his takes on Israel. It’s relevant because Zionists have organizational structures dedicated to this and the existence of this article is likely a result of said structures.

        Ethan is politically illiterate so he thought he and hasan shared politics, so he invited him to co-host a show on his multi-million subscriber channel. They mostly dunked on conservatives but it was always tense when the subject of real left politics came up (china, socialism, anti-imperialism)

        After oct 7 ethan has just been regurgitating liberal zionist talking points, and a few months ago he made a huge video criticism hasan's anti-zionism, hasan ignored him for the most part and ever since ethan has been on a crusade to EXPLICITLY get him, his friends and anyone with radical leftist politics deplatformed off twitch.

        Which is a big part of why this anti-hasan thing is catching steam, ethan is a prominent liberal jewish youtuber with a show that nets 500-800k views an episode, and he's leveraged his own and destiny's communities to, as he puts it, "hold hasan accountable"

            Ok, so, to break it down for you, as simply as possible, the people in this thread are trying to tell you that without Ethan Klein doing his best to deplatform Hasan, people at Fox News probably wouldn't know who Hasan is, or, at the very least, they wouldn't have written an article also trying to deplatform him.

            Now, whether that analysis is right or not, I have no idea. I don't watch Hasan, I don't know anything about Ethan Klein, so yeah, no clue. But I think the claim is pretty straightforward, and it is as follows: without Ethan Klein trying to deplatform Hasan, Fox News wouldn't have written this article. And the truth or falsity of that claim has nothing to do with whether Ethan Klein or his supporters are mentioned in the article itself.

                Waow, no way, the right wing propaganda outlet doing cover for a justifiably criticized right wing media personality by demanding that his critics be silenced has failed to provide the full context? Say it isn't so!

                  It's been a bizzare turn to see the libs uncritically accept everything fucking Fox News says as fact. They really just don't like it because they are told not to like it, that's all it is. Has nothing to do with bias or media literacy, and solely because it is the "bad guy" news, but they'll ignore that when it suits them.

        When two mods are online at the same time, both banning and removing the same posts

        milhouse so this is what it feels like when doves cry

          A little bit of feedback for you (please take this as gentle ribbing and nothing more): I would have left this lib unbanned long enough to see the response to my comment and, more succinctly/clearly the comment by Babs below. Because I think we (especially Babs, actually) really got to the root of the "misunderstanding" (it well might have been intentional, that's what I want to know!). And I would have been curious to see their response, because I want to know if they were actually being obtuse on purpose (likely) or if it was an honest misunderstanding (unlikely). But now because our hexbear mods are so online and ban-happy (again, I mean this in a friendly way, I'm usually glad you're online and ban-happy), we will never know, and I'm a little sad about that. (That last little bit is 100% sincere, I really would have liked to see how the lib would have responded to me, but mostly Babs, because her comment says what I was trying to say, but better.)

            If he was being intentionally obtuse (likely) I wanted to drag that out of him. With patient explanations.

        Oh yeah, apparently, they had a political podcast together, called "Leftovers", but it was prolly no coincidence that after Oct. 7, 2023, they stopped it, likely due to contrasting politics, and Ethan Klein having an Israeli wife, Hila, who, ranging from what Ethan says to what Badempanda (Hasan ally) revealed, was merely just an IOF reservist little Eichmann logistics manager, to a participant in IOF raids in the West Bank

        The immediate spark prolly happened when Ethan Klein, allied with Destiny, tried to help dox a Yemeni teen who was memeing about the Ansrallah Red Sea attacks, calling him "terrorist"
