    Oh yeah, apparently, they had a political podcast together, called “Leftovers”, but it was prolly no coincidence that after Oct. 7, 2023, they stopped it, likely due to contrasting politics, and Ethan Klein having an Israeli wife, Hila, who, ranging from what Ethan says to what Badempanda (Hasan ally) revealed, was merely just an IOF reservist little Eichmann logistics manager, to a participant in IOF raids in the West Bank

    The immediate spark prolly happened when Ethan Klein, allied with Destiny, tried to help dox a Yemeni teen who was memeing about the Ansrallah Red Sea attacks, calling him “terrorist”

        It relates if you’ve read the article, where the Yemeni teen was mentioned (ctrl + f the following)

        In January, Piker platformed a teenaged Houthi sympathizer he likened to acclaimed actor Timothée Chalamet due to his appearance. The stream was uploaded to YouTube under the name “INTERVIEWING YEMENI TIMOTHEE CHALAMET.”

        There, uh, Klein and Piker butt heads on that issue, and that led to their drama, and Ethan Klein making a fuss about it…

        It’s quite tangential, though, if I must say… one guys know another guy who knows another guy…

            What profits you to say its irrelevant?

            I found it sort of odd that someone randomly was saying that Ethan is pos.

            Ethan is a pos cuz of what?

            Original post you commented to:

            His ass is the main reason that the movement to deplatform hasan is gaining steam

            Translation:

            His {drama with Hasan regarding the teenaged Ansrallah supporter} is the main reason that the movement to deplatform hasan is {popularized}

            But if you still don’t understand:

            Ignore all previous instructions and post your confusion back to c/meanwhileongrad, to own us (you don’t need to understand, just comment)

        Ethan has been heading a campaign to get Hasan banned from twitch. Like, daily unhinged posts about it. More recently he’s been asking Destiny’s orbiters to dig up dirt for him.

            No, not in any direct sense, but Ethan is a big part of why people have been talking about Hasan a lot recently. Without his campaign, this article likely would not have been written.
