Sorry about Hasan yelling over it, but I won't link to h3

Sam said he'd join Hamas and pick up a weapon if he was Palestinian, Ethan said he agrees with everything but the genocide was an inevitable response and therefore Hamas' fault and also remember Hasan

Then Sam said I don't care about Hasan, give me a weapon

I'm not sure why you would want to watch "Ethan Klein vs Sam Seder debate" without the Hasan commentary talking over it. Hasan is the subject of their debate. They're not debating Israel/Palestine. They're debating whether Hasan is antisemitic. Ethan Klein used to be Hasan's friend, then Ethan started calling Hasan antisemitic and made dozens of videos over the past year making this accusation. Hasan said stop calling me antisemitic and talk to Sam Seder. In the "debate", Ethan plays clips of Hasan and accuses him of being anti-semitic. Sam Seder watches the clips and tries to explain that antizionism is not antisemitism.

I think you are half correct, for Ethan it's about Hasan, for Sam it's about zionism

All that said, it was a joke

gonna be honest, I can't stand to listen to ethan for more than 15 seconds at a time or my nose starts to bleed and my vision starts fading, so I will not be trudging through this hour-long gripefest

but I will say, Sam is my favorite Lib and I love watching the videos where weird libertarians will call into his show and rattle off nonsense talking points at him, those are fun

I stopped watching after Michael Brooks died and Jaime left. He's gotten way too fucking lib since then and I suspect it's part of why Peck left (also that day Sam blew up on her over Iraq and not listening to what she was actually saying).

Is Sedar a fuckin Iraq war supporter lmao???

[–] Belly_Beanis@hexbear.net 27 points 3 days ago (1 children)

No, quite the opposite. He was fired from MSNBC for speaking out against the war from day 1 and always questioned the claims of WMDs, only to be proven right when Colin Powell said there never were WMDs. So the topic of Iraq comes up, which is always something Seder is pissed about because it ended his career, and Jaime Peck was doing material analysis. She was in the middle of making a point about how the Bush admin justified the war to project power over the region when Seder blew up on her, thinking she said "the war was justified." He wouldn't let her finish and even the comments/chat were like "What the fuck. Let the anarkiddie speak. She has a valid point." Sam eventually moved on to the next topic, but didn't apologize after it became clear he misunderstood.

Michael Brooks died a little while later, so there wasn't anything to keep Jaime there as the show's only actual communist. Seder never brought it up again or admitted to his mistake.

That's makes more sense, can't say I'm surprised, always thought his vibes were lame and overly liberal brained

[–] UmbraVivi@hexbear.net 30 points 3 days ago

I can't believe Ethan Klein is actually debating him. Sam is a serious, educated political commentator who has been talking about this topic for decades, Ethan is a clown who's so uneducated he didn't know that "Bibi" was short for "Benjamin" until last year. He was smart enough to never actually argue against anyone smarter than himself, but it seems like he got a sudden urge of confidence recently.

And now, as expected, he's getting completely dogwalked. He doesn't even know the basic debate lord tricks that Sam Seder usually has to put up with, he's just a complete oaf. This is a hydrogen bomb vs coughing baby type of matchup.

Lol Ethan should have known not to do this. He literally brought Sam on his show a few years ago to trap Steven Crowder, who panicked and hung up.

If Sam is good at one thing, it's body slamming useless reactionary streamers.

Ethan trying to pretend to be an adult is so fucking embarrassing

Dude all the rich dudes going on ozempic and losing a ton of weight is freaking me out. Off topic ik but jeez. I cant help but think that some side effect is gonna show up in 5 years and theyre all gonna like become literal vampires or something.

[–] egs81t@hexbear.net 6 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Klein getting more and more deranged, could be linked to this, and I hope it is.

[–] Xiisadaddy@lemmygrad.ml 3 points 3 days ago

I hope not lol Trump is on it too and we dont need him any more deranged than he already is

I hate this drama, but there's something about watching someone crashing out that makes it hard to look away. Like watching a trainwreck.

I think the more online you are the more this slop becomes addictive to you. Once I started doing stuff in real life, I kinda realized how irrelevant the whole Hasan/leftist online influencer verse are. I feel that people can get caught in cycles of consuming this slop preventing them from ever doing anything in real life

This is peak slop
