Bro I can't watch this whole thing they're too fucking boring

John-Zero

What's the Doordash lore? I keep seeing that mentioned.

John-Zero

wake up ethan

John-Zero

Anyone who thinks it's cringe shouldn't have rights

John-Zero

She didn't just stand by Ethan. There are pretty good reasons to believe she radicalized him in the first place.

WE ARE TAMAAAARLIE KIIRRK

I think they thought they were going to wind up in a better position. They'd keep all the H3 deadenders (honestly, a smart read on their part, I would've expected at least some of the cultists to side with Ethan) and bring back all the former fans who left because of how much Ethan sucked.

Their problem is that they think of interpersonal and social politics with the same braindead approach that liberals apply to thinking about regular politics. Liberals were so sure that if they just hammered on what a mean guy Donald Trump is, they'd win. Politics is denuded of its ability to effect meaningful positive change, so it's just reality TV now. What they forgot is that voters don't like that state of affairs.

The H3 goons approached this situation the same way. If we just position ourselves and our deadenders as oppositional to Ethan, then the other people who are oppositional to Ethan will come back to us! And why wouldn't they think that when that's the entire animating principle behind the broader anti-Hasan coalition. Asmongold, DGG, Ethan and H3, none of these people care about anything other than Hasan Bad, and they don't realize that normal people don't operate that way.

It's also linked to the way that all criticism of H3 and Ethan was always met with the thought-terminating cliche of "snark". They could only conceive of opposition as being personally driven. People didn't hate Ethan because of his politics and his noxious behavior, they hated him just because. It's a smaller-scale manifestation of the weird Zionist canard of replacing "Israeli" with "Jewish" in various contexts as if it means anything. We don't hate Israel because of what they do, we hate them because of who they are.

No, she definitely thinks she's superior to mere liberals.

John-Zero

Why the scare quotes? You've described the standard liberal.

John-Zero

She's a "leftist" in the way a lot of people thought they were leftists during Trump 1/Woke 1. Basically they hate the Democratic Party but they hate people who don't vote for Democrats even more.

John-Zero

"leftist"

John-Zero

Does one final boss usually fight the other final boss?

John-Zero

Maybe I'm too rpg gamer coded

You are.

John-Zero

I had no idea but yeah, looks like he hasn't tweeted since March. That's kind of surprising.

John-Zero

More like playing checkers at a gunfight

John-Zero

Don't feel bad, she's a skin suit filled with garbage that was cursed with sentience by an Albanian witch.

John-Zero

These people are such cowardly little high school students, man.

John-Zero

Genuinely trying to figure out why they all think that. That seems to be the standard H3 fan line, and I don't understand how they can be under the impression that two loud Zionists are not Zionists. Like I don't even think Ethan and Hila have tried to make that claim, have they?

John-Zero

OK, what's the difference? We're speaking of purely non-physical, non-sexual stuff here.

John-Zero

It speaks for itself.

John-Zero

What was the deleted tweet

John-Zero

Wasn’t this the guy they were interviewing when he said he didn’t give a fuck about Palestine?

John-Zero

Yes.

John-Zero

You either die a villain or live long enough to become a different kind of villain 

John-Zero

She’s the Luigiof snark. She did way more than any actual committed member of the movement but for utterly inscrutable insane reasons
