Ethan Klein learns a new word and loves it.

Fewer do but most of the ones that are left have his brain worms.

I really hoped he would get BTFO'd after having that nazi apologist on his channel. The guest cited some David Irving bullshit about Dresden, claiming it was bombed after Germany surrendered and killed over 300,000 people. Klein and his wife were just "Wow they really don't tell you that in school! I guess the Allies were just as bad as the nazis."

1. Dresden was not bombed after the war. Anne Frank died within a two week window of the Dresden bombing (exact date of her and her family's deaths is unknown). Dresden was a major railway hub connecting the Eastern and Western fronts, as well as being one of the last stops before Auschwitz. It was an important target to prevent the Germans from reinforcing against the coming soviet advance.

2. Census data before and after the war indicates Dresden had a population in the 60,000 range. Even if everyone there died (they didn't), this is significantly less than the six figures Holocaust deniers use to garner sympathy. Furthermore, the bombing saved the lives of people being sent to concentration camps. Many prisoners escaped during the chaos, who the Germans tried to hunt down instead of helping with rescue efforts in the city. So fuck 'em anyway. They reaped the whirlwind.

3. This has long been identified as a form of Holocaust denial perpetuated by David Irving and was disproven in the early 2000s. Not knowing about its connection to neo-nazis shows a serious lack of expertise. Knowing its connection can only be interpreted as nazi sympathizing. While there's a whole cluster fuck of problems about how Dresden and other nazi propaganda has perpetuated throughout the English-speaking world, it's irresponsible to spout these "facts" without checking the sources. Klein, as a public figure, should not be airing these views.

Hdhdaisesbdhu8aiiapahdhxjfh he pisses me off and I wish he was deplatformed 😡😡

Democrats are becoming Republicans, leftists are fucking doomed here. Can’t talk about Kamala or Palestine without getting nuked by both democrats and republicans. They’re a team now.

We used to watch pretty regularly. Leftovers was entertaining, but it was clear that when Hasan was doing serious political analysis, all of that would fly over Ethan's head in a way that vexed him. Then they had that episode where they were talking about Socialism, and it seemed apparent to me that Hasan thought this was going to be a kind of informational episode, and Ethan's only intentions were to "Own" Hasan in the "marketplace of ideas". Ethan admits at some point that his only research on "social democracy" was conducted with none other than "ChatGPT" (something he was obsessed with at the time, and probably still is). That's when I stopped really giving a shit about the dude and his content. I think the thing that frustrated me was not so much how "bad" that episode was, but that it clearly looked like a "bait and switch" on someone who Ethan presented as a Friend and how willingly and deliberately ignorant Ethan was.

The nail in the coffin though was definitely the episode after Oct 7th (where this grudge Ethan has maintained sprouted from) and the preceding livestream where he angrily argued with Hasan. The total disingenuous nature of the whole thing showed many people the face under the mask. I haven't watched an episode since.
