I thought the nuke was very good, and it isn’t lost on me that this isn’t for the mega fans, it’s for the people that only know Ethan from clips from biased feeds. It is stuff that fans know and have seen, but put in a way casual viewers need to see. I haven’t seen any actual critique against any of the content, just copium and hate, like attacking him for including Kaya. All in all, I think this was important and had some great points, like “Hasan and I are like 5 degrees apart on Palestine but that is too much for him” and “This conflict will never end until people realize that Palestinian liberation and Israeli security are not mutually exclusive. You need both.”
I’m fairly unfamiliar with Hasan, I’ve thought he was alright, but this video made me realize I’ve only ever seen clips of him which were fairly common leftist views.
But holy shit, it’s almost like horseshoe theory in full swing. Fuck Hasan.
Ethan has had some shit takes over the years, but he has a good heart and wants the world to be better.
Example: not too long ago he was talking about going vegetarian/vegan because he’s becoming aware of the horror show that is the factory farming industry.
Don’t know if that went anywhere, I stopped following years ago. Only heard about that through Earthling Ed.
In any case, biases and comedic editing aside, there’s no way to frame a lot of what Hasan has said, as anything other than terrorist sympathizing.
