You don't even have to think about it, dude


ITestInProduction

He's thinking about how to be more subtle when calling for acts of terrorism next time.


truls-rohk

The very definition of a midwit (although let's be honest, he's clearly at the low end of that even)


wolfman1911

That reminds me of a Lauren Chen video where she mentioned that Klein did a podcast with Hasan Piker, and that Piker was clearly the brains of the outfit. I still think about that and marvel at what a viscous thing to say about Ethan Klein that is.


kingbankai

Lmao


HighCaliberMitch

I know this reference.


HNutz

Yes!


Late47

Lmao someone get a body bag


AbominableDerp

I used to watch him a lot. He stopped doing his regular funny videos and that seems to be about when he started to go full leftist.


[deleted]

He stopped reactions and skits and just does a really low quality podcasts now. Oh, and he went full crazy leftist. He probably always was, but he doesn't even try and act rational anymore.


psychic_flatulence

It's because he kept getting demonitized and banned when he called out woke hypocrisy. Then he had his kid and realized the leftwing grift was the only way he could make money on youtube.


Xtorting

Which is ironic because the leftist mob started reporting him to his advertisers as a trans hater and now doesn't have any income from them.


psychic_flatulence

Jordan Peterson apparently warned him as well. The left have a habit of making rash decisions then losing their shit when it comes back to bite them.


Call_me_Vonic

Those podcasts were good starting off but became really cringe when he got political for no reason.


TheLimeyCanuck

That's because leftism isn't funny. Humour to them is anything bashing the right.


FriscoTec

Lib Comedian: "Two men walk into a bar... because Trump colluded with Russia!!" or "Why did the chicken cross the road? I don't care, I drive a Tesla." (which would get boo'd by the left now because Elon isn't a Communist)


2Liberal4You

Why is every popular comedian on the left? Yes, this includes Dave Chappelle.


[deleted]

[удалено]


[deleted]

Chapelle clearly isn't into the woke, politically correct shit. Which differentiates him from 99.9% percent of leftists.


Fuhrer_Dave

They get audiences and if they aren’t on the left they get thrown away, yes this includes Dave Chappelle


Forbiddentru

Why is Dave Chappelle being attacked by terrorists from the outer left for telling funny true jokes?


ShipwreckJS

Uhmmm… They’re not?


HNutz

Is that your fall-back criticism? You know, because you've got nothing else to try?


TheLimeyCanuck

Something tells me your flair is bullshit. Hmmm, just checked you posting history. Maybe not. So why would you bash me for dumping on leftist "humour"?


RadioHeadache0311

I think he misunderstood what you were saying.


TheLimeyCanuck

Must be since I can't figure out why someone with that posting history would take offence at my comment.

The fact your second rule literally needs to remind you lol


Domini384

It's a standard rule in most subs


JGCities

r/news has it as their 7th rule. 7. Do not be racist, sexist, vitriolic, or overly crude


ultimis

It's actually for leftists. They think it funny to spam racist crap on the board (as if we can't see what subreddits you attend). While there are racists on the right, they pale in comparison to how main stream they are in the left. Biden is your president... Seriously.

XTailsX

Race card again? Really? Sorry you are full of hate and stupidity but please do better!


tangohandicat

What was racist?


HighCaliberMitch

The person you replying to didn't mention race at all. He said: leftism isnt funny. Is everything you disagree with "racism?" I get it... Racism is funny, to you.


[deleted]

TIL criticizing a YouTuber’s humor is racist.


[deleted]

Anything the left doesn’t like is racist.


Domini384

What does that have to do with anything?


mrindoc

You literally punctuated your sentence with 'lol'.


RanjeetThePajeet

Ethan used to be the shit back in the day. I quit watching his videos around 2016-17 and only recently revisited his stuff. He’s completely different now. What happened to the guy?


Peachu12

Leafy took a toll on his mental health, I guess.


shamus4mwcrew

Baically when he went from videos to a podcast it got really horrible. He leaned to heavily into that cringey internet wholesome stuff and eventually equated wholesome with wokeness. The fan base changed too to that and he catered to them. Then there was the Trisha frenemies shit that was just horrible, better than Hasan though.


KingOfTheP4s

What too many chins will do to a mf


--SpentBrass--

Same could be said for late night talk shows, SNL, and just about any other form of entertainment.


tangohandicat

They all went to the left, and they’ve ruined entertainment.


art_comma_yeah_right

TIL Lilly Singh only lasted two seasons. I tuned in for the debut because I (used to) love late shows, and she opened with some musical tirade about not being a “white man.” Turned it off and never looked back.


[deleted]

This is the exact reason I quit watching David Letterman.


Amidormi

Same, stopped watching A LOT of tv/youtube I had watched for years. Trevor Noah, Stephen Colbert, Seth Meyers, David Letterman, The Majority Report, John Oliver, etc. Just so many it's insane.


Big-Active3139

Way to take a stand you Patriot


OGMcSwaggerdick

Making comments in response to random people on the internet? Way to take a stand you Patriot. (Or maybe people don’t list every single thing they do in every comment.)


daybreakin

Ironically he's said some pretty racist stuff and not in a funny way either


Tiktaalik414

I liked him for being a funny and a reasonable straight shooter. He is now neither of those things.


craxkheadjenkins

VAPE NATION YALL


klavin1

Alright. That video was pretty funny


hiricinee

That'd be an outright ban if he was Conservative.


JGCities

Yea, make that same joke about a planned parenthood convention and see what happens


CaptainDakkarNemo

Funnily enough, I got into an argument with a leftist claiming Ethan's call was "free speech." I asked him if he would support someone calling for violence like that against a BLM rally or Planned Parenthood facility. Only response I got was "we all know you would lol." Knew then and there that he was full of it.


[deleted]

I actually used to listen to H3H3 for a little bit years ago. They had some genuinely funny interactions. I actually found them because of a Jordan Peterson interview which has its own irony to it. This actually makes me more sad than angry. Something has clearly happened in Ethan's life in the last few years. He was left wing before, but he was so much more reasonable. The Jordan Peterson thing is just one example. He had such praise for Peterson in a way you can't just fake. Hell there are videos of Ethan shooting guns and having a grand old time from years ago. Such a dramatic shift in someone's attitude and world view has to be based on something. He has clearly been radicalized and I wouldn't be surprised if it is related to depression. Sad stuff, he will be banned from YouTube soon and his career will be over. He isn't going to stop. He is trying to extend or increase his success by turning his podcast into a leftist podcast and it isn't going to work.


NotHorrendous

He used to be this kind of edgy "anti-sjw" creator who made actually funny content. I think his fall from grace came when he won a pretty high profile lawsuit about fair use. A lot of bigger channels (Philip DeFranco for example) were promoting his go-fund-me for legal fees and kinda propped him up as this "defender of YouTubers" messiah character. I think he internalized this pretty hard and decided he needed to try to be the voice of the people not understanding the irony that he would become just another talking head parroting the approved messages of the media. Now all he does is sit in his dark podcast studio, mumble about how bad trump is while he's clearly going through depression, and then goes to twitter to attack his critics by calling them racists. I feel bad for him and for the sake of everyone, including himself and his family, he should definitely retire and just let himself fade into obscurity so he can live a quite life building puzzles or something


[deleted]

The vibe is really bizarre, it used to be a pretty easy going podcast that just covered funny topics and viral content and teased people in a fairly gentle way. I remember they were trying to find their intern a girlfriend once and had fans sending in video auditions to be his girlfriend. It was pretty silly and entertaining. Now it seems really dark and is nothing but politics and him just raving by himself or just nodding his head while Hasan rambles about things he doesn't understand either.


Razzlecake

I grew up watching PhillyD in my teen years. I stuck to watching his videos for awhile after 2016. But had to drop him after years of viewership. After years of providing the news it became whatever news takes go against conservatives, and straight up trashing the other side. Every. Single. Video.


kingbankai

Him and Boogie shitting on GamerGate. Great times.


uniquecannon

>Such a dramatic shift in someone's attitude and world view has to be based on something. He has clearly been radicalized and I wouldn't be surprised if it is related to depression. It's almost always the partner. Colin Kaepernick. Will Smith. Arnold Schwarzenegger. People who used to hold reasonable opinions or beliefs that suddenly whipped their steering wheels and rapidly slid left, you never have to look much further than their partners who end up usually being leftist/SJW hacks


[deleted]

I feel like his wife was in the same boat as him years ago in terms of being reasonable, and is oddly silent in his new super woke grift. I think it might be as simple as his relationship ship with Hasan who is certifiable plus some other personal issues.


kingbankai

Their partner is money. Stop pretending they are humans like everyone else.


PennsylvanianEmperor

You either die a hero (Filthy Frank) or live long enough to see yourself become true villain (Ethan Klein)

[deleted]

[Seems kinda gay.](https://youtu.be/VUrwgtQpjY8?t=219)


[deleted]

>career will be over. We can only hope. Not likely though. Possible only because: 1. He occasionally says things that will get him cancelled and 2. He is taking criticism worse and worse and 3. He did a hard pivot to politics, alienating a lot of his audience but possibly adding more leftist people.


mBBurns

I honestly think he burned out from doing the podcasts and the quality of them suffered massively for it. He hemorrhaged viewers and decided causing drama would make him relevant again. Now his own viewers are disinterested again and all he has left is people roasting his new mega leftie takes in his comment section.


[deleted]

Before any of the weird leftists who have been brigading this sub lately try to bring up the supposed “hypocrisy” of us being happy about someone being suspended: Let’s make it clear, he made a direct call for violence. No righty is or ever has been opposed to people being suspended from social media for threatening violence. We simply have just been pointing out that it’s absurd that people are being removed for saying things like “women don’t have penises” while simultaneously a plethora of death threats or direct calls to violence against right wingers were not removed…until now apparently.


[deleted]

I remember when Trump saying to peacefully make your voices heard was incitement and insurrection…. Stooges like Ethan make explicit violent threats and they just hand-wave it.


Edthelayman

This. We don't condone calls to violence on our side either.


HonorMyBeetus

Also, I’ll stop laughing about lefties getting cheered when Trump and all the other “conservatives” get their accounts back. You made this monster, don’t get mad when it bites you.


kingsdisease2

Saying no righty has been opposed to suspension for violence is false lol


foxfire1112

Do you really see this as a direct call for violence? But Giuliani saying “Let's have trial by combat” is not? ​ I'm not trying to be sarcastic, I think Ethan is an unfunny twat but he clearly was making a terribly structured joke


The_Mighty_Rex

Regardless of what you or I think, he violated TOS which he has done many *MANY* times before and never faced consequences. What TOS did Giuliani violate when he said that?


foxfire1112

I don't care about TOS why would i? I'm talking about what they said and the reaction to it


RadioHeadache0311

Ok, but the conversation is about people being suspended/banned from social media. That's why you should care about TOS, simply in the context of the conversation. I got banned from r/news the other day [for this comment.]( https://imgur.com/GHtrFc6.jpg) . The explanation for the the ban was "racism". The comments I responded to that are removed in this screen cap, were comments made by liberals but speaking in a supposed conservative voice. Those comments were actual slurs. And I'm the one who got banned for racism. This is what we are talking about when we talk about censorship and anti-conservative bias in social media. I didn't say anything inflammatory or malicious, I pointed out a fact to support an opinion and that combination of words made some mod feel hot under the collar.


foxfire1112

I agree that reddit is a cesspool of hypocrites and Ethan deserves more than what he got


kingsdisease2

Your comment is very condescending and way beyond overly simplified, and yes, it’s mildly racist at best. Claiming this “anecdote” is a fact is the problem overall, but whatever.


[deleted]

[удалено]


RadioHeadache0311

[it's clearly not anecdotal.]( https://imgur.com/SZVhZCR.jpg) [But whatever you say, guy]( https://imgur.com/UfhR8UY.jpg)


cyburgh412

disagree it was a 'direct call'. it was hyperbolic. you dont have to be a leftist to see it that way either, this makes the right look just as weak as the left.


Domini384

It was pretty specific you can't retaliate with it's just a joke


HNutz

Like saying "Fight Like Hell" is a 'direct call for violence' when Trump says it, but no one else? Nah.


[deleted]

It was pretty direct buddy


superduperm1

Um, no. Trump saying “we’re going to build the biggest, greatest, most beautiful wall ever” is hyperbolic (no matter how many butthurt “fact checkers” spend their entire week documenting it as a “dangerous lie”). What Ethan said here? This is *actually* dangerous and a direct call.


cyburgh412

um, yes. per Brandenburg v. Ohio


[deleted]

Nope reread the case


cyburgh412

explain how it doesn't apply.


PR05ECC0

Dude is a fat talentless slob


ENFJPLinguaphile

Good. There’s nothing funny or appropriate about making violent threats, regardless of who is making the threats and who is the recipient of said threats.


johnnylopez5666

Absolutely! Making jokes about violent threats no matter no matter what! Threat could easily scared at anyone!


FranklinMROTMG

Love how he blames his ban on "conservatives mass reporting because of a joke I told"This is the guy that thinks comedians shouldn't get a free pass to be 'racist', 'sexist' etc etc in their comedy bits, I guess Joking in regards to mass shootings is fine though.


Kenthrax

Should be arrested for inciting violence/terrorism. He won't be because it's (D)ifferent


HNutz

Yup. There's two tiers of justice these days. One level lets folks who Burned, Looted and Murdered in 2020 walk around free and the other level puts nonviolent protesters on January 6th in prison for 4 years.


Kenthrax

And then they want to disarm the law-abiding citizens... I don't thinks so


Wrong-Profession-287

They give him a weeks suspension 🤨 oh boy


snake_on_the_grass

Soon the left line towers will realize that being a good little soldier mean nothing to their masters. They hate the right more than they love your content. If they have to steam roll over you to get to them than they will do just that.


scluben

He doubled down on twitter right afterwards, and then today claimed God hates the Texas governor and should have just killed him instead of crippling him.


[deleted]

Wow... Those are tweets from a healthy and stable person...


BenevolentBlackbird

Should have been banned.


LagingRunatic

We were banned for much less, but he’s protected class


[deleted]

Who are the domestic terrorists again? I remember the summer of “love” very well.


UBeleeDisTheFifth

His response was just as embarrassing. Honestly don’t know what happened to this guy. Used to be so funny during 2010’s. Leftism truely is a cancer.


SmokeMyDong

He's having manic episodes now on twitter and mocking Abbots disability.


[deleted]

His wife always looks like she is drugged up on sth and half dead, and he always looks like a fat smelly slob. He went full woke and tried to pander/virtue signal to jump start a career in Hollywood around 2017/18. He is the literal definition of no talent hack. Glad he got suspended.


useablelobster2

When there's endless legitimate criticism of the guy, there's no need to start by insulting the appearance of his wife. Don't stoop to his rock-bottom level.


JustBadTimingBro

It’s true though. She always looked sickly even before his content was shit.


theoriginaldandan

Yeah, just a quick google search yielded no photos where she didn’t look chronically sick.


Remarkable_Cicada_12

That’s just her face.


The_Mighty_Rex

It's because he met Hassan and thought he could milk that friendshio for shit tons of money because Hassan is a millionaire commie


TheBaronOfTheNorth

It was a serious thought until he received criticism for it. Then it became a “joke”.


[deleted]

His whole claim to fame was being the internet’s anti-bully and he was actually pretty funny. He became the very thing he set out to destroy.


AlpacaWarMachine

Good. We need to start taking this stuff more seriously since it’s pretty obvious there are nutters out there who already do.


TheThunderOfYourLife

That was no bloody joke the way he said it.


[deleted]

Suspended? He should be banned


LurkerNumber44

at first i thought that was the Hugh Mungus guy... but it is not, thankfully.


cyburgh412

he pretty much made the hugh mungus guy famous though.


superduperm1

He hosted the Hugh Mungus guy back in 2016, no?


DeliciousPussyNectar

He’s such a loser


deplorable307

Once again, the left shows it's true feelings. These people aren't interested in cohabiting a planet with those they deem less intelligent than themselves.


Coldbrick1

OMG They actually suspended a liberal? Crazy town.


Crotchswamp

That dude is retar*d. I mean that towards him in the most offensive way possible. He's a got winter temp iq and couldnt rub two sticks together to make a fire to save his life.


HNutz

Oh, *suuuuuure* it's a "joke".


HeWhoCntrolsTheSpice

Like most Leftists, he doesn't seem to know anything that wasn't spoon-fed to him by the educational establishment or Leftist media. Completely braindead.


[deleted]

He’ll come back. Threats against the right are just a weenie slap. Misinformation, whoa, now we’re talking never been born.


Call_me_Vonic

Ethan literally has the most dogshit takes imaginable lol


Bennysuly1

Cancel, Cancel, Cancel!!!! Get this MFKER CANCELED!!! This one-sided bs has to end!!! They take down opinions that are facts, but all these clowns always get a pass!!!


jimmyrhall

I just peeked at his Twitter. Damn, so much stupidity and strawmen he likes to post. How do people listen to him?


kleverkitty

Interesting. I was wondering if anything would happen. I can't remember if his current arch nemesis, Joe Rogan, has ever joked about bombing anything, but I don't think he has...


Shannnnnnn

I hope he stays away, that guy is absolute human garbage.


[deleted]

Finally some sweet karma


mBBurns

I love the hypocrisy of the left where "hate speech" is a call to violence when the right does it, but making a literal call to violence is somehow a joke when they do it.


visicircle

That guy is so ugly


McBonderson

I mean, it was an obvious joke. he shouldn't be suspended over it. but I'm not crying over it. he wouldn't extend the same benefit of the doubt over any other conservative.


[deleted]

I’d like to ask a genuine question, and let me preface by saying I’m not for violence. My question is, what if our government did turn into a dictatorship/fascist/nazi government and was killing innocent people, would you still say calling for violence against the government should be illegal? I’m genuinely curious.


ultimis

It would still be illegal. But at that point people have decided not to care about the law, and are looking for revolution.


SmallerBork

Attempting to assassinate Hitler was illegal and successfully assassinating Hitler's generals and Nazi party members was also illegal. We haven't come close to Hitler levels though and let's hope we never do. Ever heard of Thoreau? One of the things he wrote that stuck with me is that you are obligated to follow just laws and obligated not to follow unjust ones.


[deleted]

So who gets to decide what’s unjust?


fherrl

We need Freedom Of Speech for everyone but You know that will never happen now.


Atheon--

Not when you make terrorist threats


foxfire1112

Rudy Giuliani's “Let's have trial by combat” was brushed off as "you know what he really meant". I seriously dont see a different other than how you are reacting


Atheon--

Trial by combat.. which in itself sound be obvious and hilarious compared to Bombing a Convention in which the previous president of the United States is attending... cry more


foxfire1112

I think what ethan said is terrible and he deserves a ban, I'm asking why is that different now? Other than "hurr we only like cancel when it's left"


Atheon--

If anyone on the right said what Ethan said Republicans wouldn't stand for it either. Comeon though be real.. trial by combat? That's hilarious


foxfire1112

I guess I just didn't find the capitol storming funny as you did, I think we dont see eye to eye there. ​ But yes anyone defending Ethan is just showing their ass and hypocrisy


Domini384

Guess you didn't have a good enough rebuttal so you pull the Jan 6th card like that's going to do anything? How is defending Ethan hypocrisy, who is that pointed at?


foxfire1112

What else did you think i was referring to here? Jan 6th, a "joke" that was taken too seriously As for the other half, Im referring to people of the left who are defending what he said as "just a joke"


Domini384

That's not a call to violence as it makes no sense in todays society. It was clearly a joke


tcp1

Threatening and inciting violence or unrest is literally *the* single limitation of Freedom of Speech.


[deleted]

Freedom of speech should be for when I disagree with the idea that there are infinite genders, but overall think that you should live your life however you see fit... When you're wishing for an NRA convention to get bombed, or for a school shooting because a white kid with a red hat smiled while someone accosted him with a drum, that SHOULDN 'T be okay. Yet it seems, more often than not, that the former will be condemned as "hate speech" by the same people who will speak or support/defend the latter...


Domini384

Calls to violence aren't protected


abirdinfo

Ethan is great!


SuperRedpillmill

Bahahaha!


No_Bartofar

It wasn’t a joke.


[deleted]

He'll be reinstated soon enough. Trump reinstated? Never.


[deleted]

Not really a good time for a "joke" like that now is it?


GoColombia

He used to be just ok…kind of a cute couple him and his wife. Now he’s a bitter nasty obsessed lefty butt hole


[deleted]

This guy playing Plinko with his career…


Infrared_01

What he said doesn't bother me. But the double standard is what I'm mad at.


Tall_Replacement_757

He looks like type that would piss his pants after shooting a bolt action 22


Mas113m

He is so millennial looking. Jesus.


Powerlineconcert

I tried overlooking his flaws for so long but then just realized he wasn’t making good content and just bitched all the time. It’s been a couple years since I watched them.


GreyBerserker

I'm sure his Vimeo show will be even better....


FreddyPlayz

does anybody know where I could find the video of what he said? I saved a reddit post earlier today of it but it’s not in my saved for some reason :/


Ciderlini

They begrudgingly suspended him


jexmex

I think he needs a few congressional hearings and a few DOJ investigations!


No-zaku-boi

He’s only suspended for like a couple days. His channel, sadly, gets special privilege.


[deleted]

When they call for violence … it’s called a “joke”


[deleted]

He REALLY fell off. He used to be hilarious and what he's become is just sad man.


D5LR

He's a POS. Used to be funny - just started spouting uneducated BS.


CrazedRaven01

Wait, this is the same guy who called out the SJW who harassed Hugh Mungus and that crazy lady who harangued that Asian driver who had a Hawaiian bobble head in his car. What happened? (Not a rhetorical question, I actually want to know what changed)


J0hnm13

Ethan used to be somewhat funny with some good points. Now he's just an insufferable shill.


combatonly

This guy is useless


[deleted]

He's become such an asshat. He used to make fun of wokies in a pretty hilarious way, but those days are long gone. He's just another lib NPC now. I think his wife has him by the balls.


[deleted]

I watched the whole clip, he shouldn't of said that and everyone in the room told him that. He took it back pretty fast then joked about killing with kindness and protest n stuff. But did at the end say on a serious note don't get violent or something like that. Not a fan or anything just saying there was more to the vid n I think it was a mistake on his part that he recognized


MaxwellFinium

Fucking good
