[@benjaminmichael5719]

The problem I see is that we've gone beyond just trying to find solutions to problems. We've turned our STANCES on those problems into a group identity. Things like pro-life or pro-choice rarely seems to be about trying to figure the actual issue (the issues being: what's the cut-off point during fetal development when abortion becomes unethical, logistics for providing abortion clinic access, what situations should unconditionally accepted such as r*pe and medical reasons, and who should pay for all this). Instead, we bundle all these ideas into two watered-down stances. "I'm pro-choice" or "I'm pro-life". Hell, these reductionist stances are even badges on dating profiles. When a person takes a leap and simply incorporates the conclusion into their personal identity, things get even weirder. No longer do they try to work out the issue that's an external issue (granted, one that may affect them at some point), instead, they defend the conclusion using whatever justification necessary. It becomes, to that person, a self-evident moral truth. When you start poking holes in just one part of that multi-faceted topic, it's perceived as attacking their character, their identity. The worst part is that this process happens on both the left and the right, but both sides seem to think it doesn't happen THEIR side. My conservative mother literally cannot accept a fair criticism of the republican party. I can't bring up criticisms towards certain woke ideologies with my liberal friends, because they see no problems with that ideology going all-the-way to it's conclusion. I feel like I'm taking crazy pills being surrounded by political-fanatics that don't see how much they've drank the koolaid. The solution is to somehow train people to not take politics so personally. Take political issues as what they actually are: an issue that needs figuring out. Figuring stuff out requires brainstorming, questioning whether the status quo is acceptable or not, and testing whether unorthodox solutions are crazy or actually sane. But I'm just a lowly US citizen that's trying to figure out if the happy childhood I had will still be possible for my future kids. So what do I know?

[@artsyfartsynerdywordy]

If anyone ever tells you that the “situation is too complex” for them to explain it to you, it isn’t because they truly think you’re too stupid to understand it, it’s because they actually don’t understand enough of the subject to explain it fully to anyone.

That's the challenge with some KZbin creators and any hivemind fan community. When you rely on a united fanbase, you'll face backlash if your views diverge from the collective opinion of your followers. Many content creators, particularly on KZbin, depend on their fanbase for income and find themselves constrained by the need to align with their audience's beliefs. The same dynamic can apply to political circles, where individuals may feel pressured to either fully agree with everything or completely disagree based on political party.

What's happening to Ethan is not about him getting "just desserts", it's about what reasonable voices have tried to implore upon him, for years, about why its only creating a negative environment.

I've watched a good portion of that VOD and I've gotta say I'm quite surprised Ethan was actually questioning Hasan's position on China. I don't like him, but you've gotta give him that. Watching Hasan squirm was quite satisfying.

[@casualthurs3243]

He does that to Hasan pretty often and it is genuinely funny. Makes Hasan look like a moron.

[@Chadmeleon]

China is the future for human progress. Keep crying and coping.

[@bigdadybojangls9219]

Honestly Ethan has been pretty based lately. Him hitting back on Hasan and his producer Dan for their stupid takes is good to see.

[@briankhumalo938]

Yeah I'm with Preach on this one. Some people aren't persuaded by rational discourse (whether or not the position is correct), only the consequences of their actions. The only way Ethan will grow is to go through the ringer. We wish him well, but he deserves this. We'd be doing him a disservice by shielding him from the monster he created.

This was the first and only time Ethan ever had me dying laughing with his 6th grader responses lmfao

Did Hugh Mingus ever make you laugh?

All he had to say was "I believe they should just keep this status quo cause of the potential danger of officially declaring independence." This whole song and dance makes it sound more like "I like China and hope their situation with Taiwan and Hong Kong keeps going."

Damn so Jordan Peterson was right. He said this would happen to Ethan after Ethan went after him

[@johnathanross6519]

He told him. Be careful with who you decide to be bed fellows with. And here we are.

This is overblown. He’s not getting cancelled ppl just love to hate on Ethan

[@tonybablony2041]

Ethan realizing his annoying ultra left progressive audience he’s cultivated went against him irrationally is SOOOOOO funny😂 He’s stuck in that audience capture loop and he doesn’t like it!! 😂

I don't feel bad for Ethan at all. He knew what he was getting himself into.

When you make Ethan Klein look based there's no hope left for you.

[@jacksoncabrera7236]

I completely avoid talking about political discussions with friends and family, but I also removed myself from politics completely. I’m American but I’m neither republican or democrat. The 2020 election really affected my mental health and worrying about who should I trust in life. It’s really sad where we live in a world where a friend would no longer be friends with you if he or she found out you were a fan of trump. I’m friends with people who are from both sides and I think it’s stupid to no longer to be friends with someone just based off of your political values. If you are into political discussions it’s best to keep your opinions and values to yourself if you wanna keep your friends and families.

I remember watching H3H3 like 10 years ago when he was actually a funny guy but now the dude is just a political channel. Also great video Gentlemen, keep up the great work!

[@uioplkhj]

H3H3 was amazing back in the day for calling out BS.

[@krislanc1239]

H3he from the past would have chewed this one’s a new ass, those videos would be amazing. Too bad both of them are gone, I really liked them.

[@vinnycannoli]

Ethan used to be this based. Glad he's setting to return to being based if only a little. My favorite description of Ethan recently was someone calling him the drunken master
