Having someone read a script in the style of a hostage extortion video is a bizarre spectacle.

spoilerKaceytron is a stoner comedy type character.

Ethan made a 2-hour long anti-Hasan video where the big accusation is that Hasan is a communist. Ethan encouraged people to watch the video and then sued the people he doesn't like, eg Kaceytron, Denims, Frogan. Asmongold also reacted to the video and is not being sued.

Ethan Klein is a Zionist. Kaceytron was targeted by the lawsuit for being anti-Israel.

A longer explanation.

Forgive me for the harm I have caused this world

None may atone for my actions but me

And only in me will their stain live on

I am thankful to have have been caught

My fall cut short by those with wisened hands

All I can be sorry and that is all I am

I'm sorry, I'm afraid you still don't mean it. Again.

What's that from?

Severance

[–] dditty@lemmy.dbzer0.com 30 points 17 hours ago

Lmao Ethan loved to claim he was a bastion for free speech after his fair use legal precedent-setting win and now look at him

[–] Carl@hexbear.net 19 points 15 hours ago

i mean it's easy for me to say i wouldn't have done it but fuck, if someone with Ethan's money comes after you in the American system, what choice do you have? Forcing someone into financial ruin with the courts is basically a state sanctioned murder in this society, if you can't somehow crowdsource the resources to resist, your options are to look bad for a minute or die.

jesus christ, i love system where rich people can just force the poors to say whatever they want

[–] GalaxyBrain@hexbear.net 22 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

Make me a judge so I can dismiss this outright and make Ethan do public service, mostly cause i think forced public service is the only use for him, not as an specific punishment.

[–] miz@hexbear.net 15 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

he would make a good speedbump

[–] GalaxyBrain@hexbear.net 15 points 16 hours ago

He's a hateful toad but in the fantasy of doling out punishments, imo he just isn't important enough for the wall. Just like...make him clean stuff and pick up trash but for a 20 year sentence of community service. I guarantee court ordered productive labor will either be worse thsn death to him or it'll work. Either way we get shit mopped up

In my completely organic and unforced statement, I will go out of my way to mention Hasan for some reason. Ethan did not ghost write this I promise

[–] purpleworm@hexbear.net 8 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

The replies are awful. A more benign example because I think it's one of the few funny ones:

As someone who has never been a fan of you , i dont know if you wrote this yourself or someone did for you but if this is a genuine turning of the page i have to give serious props , signed an ethan fan

[–] Krem@hexbear.net 5 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

"give props" "signed" and space-comma-space feels like indicators of a boomer or elder Xer, which is cool because i imagine ethan and h3 are wacky youtube channels for kids?

[–] Kefla@hexbear.net 7 points 11 hours ago

H3 is more like a bland podcast channel for the older side of millennials

At least until it became an anti-communist pro-israel channel full time over the last couple years

[–] sewer_rat_420@hexbear.net 33 points 18 hours ago

I'm glad Ethan Klein is standing against misogyny and hatred. Must be a stand up fellow.

/sarcasm of course

[–] corgiwithalaptop@hexbear.net 55 points 20 hours ago (1 children)

Lets not forget that Hila Klein, his wife, is a war criminal and murderer for the IDF, and was likely a honeypot for Ethan.

[–] KnilAdlez@hexbear.net 34 points 20 hours ago* (last edited 19 hours ago) (2 children)

Back when I watched Ethan shudder he talked about going to israel on birthright where he called it propaganda and admitted that Hila was probably put on guard duty for the group he was with specifically to be a honeypot (not using that term but describing what is basically a honeypot). He's always been shit but he wasn't always this fucking mindlessly supportive of Israel.

[–] coolusername@hexbear.net 8 points 9 hours ago* (last edited 9 hours ago)

hmm i wonder what other people are honeypots besides Erika Kirk and Hila? are there male zionist honeypots?

[–] segfault11@hexbear.net 18 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

one interesting thing that tbh i didn't noticed until i heard felix mention this when chapo covered ethan, is that way back when he was starting his youtube career and still living in israel, any time israel came up all he would talk about is how miserable and boring it is, and how even he could sense the fashy vibes, and how he couldn't wait to leave. like if he hates it so much, and clearly palestinians aren't the cause, why the fuck is he stanning it so hard? i'm not saying this to suggest conspiracy or whatever, i just think he's actually stupid enough to fail to connect israel as a state to his shitty firsthand experience there.

[–] purpleworm@hexbear.net 13 points 16 hours ago

It does seem clear that he hates Palestinians and Hila is a sicko zionist and E has partnerships with other Zionist scoundrels.

[–] OutrageousHairdo@hexbear.net 39 points 19 hours ago

Renowned leftist Ethan Klein

[–] CyborgMarx@hexbear.net 25 points 18 hours ago

This makes me want to throw up

[–] miz@hexbear.net 17 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

better to flee the country with nothing but what you can carry than submit to this kind of humiliation

[–] RedWizard@hexbear.net 21 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

If only. She streams to support her disabled dad and Ethan is aware of this fact.

[–] TheSpectreOfGay@hexbear.net 14 points 15 hours ago

they also used the fact her dad was expecting disability paperwork to serve her through him
