This was me with Ethan Klein/H3H3 over the past ~14ish months. Their podcast content used to be lighthearted Internet drama with funny soundbytes, but now the dude is having a major crashout about Gaza after rotting his brain with Israeli state ~~propaganda~~ media coverage. He's always been an out-of-touch rich asshole, but now he's so far out of pocket it's unbearable to watch.
His wife is Israeli isnt she? I also thought they were pretty anti israel and she tried turning away from that life... I havent watched any of his videos since the "hugh mungus" era so I've no clue.
They support Israel's right to exist and were disgusted by October 7th. Idk what the OC is talking about, but this platform is filled with Hamas/Russian propaganda - as much as people see the Russian tankies, they don't see the connection, apparently.
An apartheid state does not have a right to exist. It must dismantle it's systems of apartheid if it wishes to continue to exist.
You can't be a Tankie and a supporter of Russia today. The USSR is gone. What are you even talking about? Do you even know what the words your using mean?
Their beliefs don't make any sense no. But it's still true that they hold them.
After much pondering of this mystery, I've found the likely explanation to be that they are less pro communism than they are anti the USA. And that their thinking is firmly rooted in cold war propaganda.
The West Bloc is the source of all evil, so anyone the USA supports is evil and anyone who oppose them is good. Russia must be justified in their invasion because it is opposed by the West.
