i haven’t watched the video yet as you can see in the screenshot, completely forgot i was even subbed to this channel since ethan abandoned it to make a podcast.

but i’m going to assume this will be a 2 hour video smearing hasan piker, an attempt at gaining favor with old h3 viewers who haven’t been paying attention to what’s been going on with ethan’s podcast career and don’t know the full story about how ethan has been crashing out because hasan doesn’t support racism and genocide.

just probably will be presented as “LOOK WHAT THIS INSANE TANKIE HAS BEEN SAYING WE SHOULD ALL STOP WATCHING HIS STUFF GUYS THIS IS REALLY BAD GUYS”

      i wouldn’t call myself a fan of hasan piker but he definitely does do a lot to educate normies on leftism. years back my biggest criticism was that he was just a succdem with radical aesthetics but in recent years i’ve gained a lot more respect for his ability to explain marxist concepts and deploy marxist critique in a palatable way to normies who otherwise hear nothing but liberal propaganda. i also respect that he never caved to DNC pressure, defends and educates people about china and other socialist countries etc. i do find him personally not particularly entertaining or funny but he has his moments. i do tend to prefer to wait for him to upload a twitch clip talking about recent news events to his youtube over most other youtube news channels.

      h3, definitely do not like either. i used to watch him back in his heyday and while i found him funny at the time, i would always cringe so hard at how he just attacked feminism and progressives. once i saw him and hasan had a podcast and that ethan had “shifted left” i was like “ehh…” and never really checked it out
