man why tf are people still watching these clowns anyway? i quit paying attention to h3h3 back when they stopped making actual videos. that must've been like over 5 or 6 years ago at this point. they just made a podcast instead.

and it's not a new observation but these people made a shitload of money attacking progressives, feminists, minorities etc, cultivated an audience doing that, then said "oops nvm we're progressive now" and lots of people just like, accepted it? i used to think their content was problematic and i didn't agree with the overall framing but i thought it was still funny and entertaining. now it's just like, what's the point? why follow these people who have SHOWN us they have no type of integrity, no type of actual intelligence or reason to be speaking on political issues, and on top of that they don't even make real videos anymore?

This is exactly the question on my mind. I have no idea what their appeal is, or why they still have an audience. On top of being boring, they've also just shown their whole ass to the world in that they're moralless ghouls.

Direct link to the video he's reacting to

TL;DW: During some unspecified conflict, Hila had some kind of a desk job that she commuted to daily and found boring, and was thinking of quitting. She applied for a change of job (apparently you don't get to choose what kind of job?) and was placed at a base further away where she'd spend the week there and have the weekend off, which she found to be "more of an adventure" and "more rewarding". She was secretary for some high-ranked military official leading a brigade that controlled Ramallah. On her mission to the "terrorist city" (Ethan's words, which Hila doesn't blink an eye at), she tagged along on one of her brigades nightly "raid[s] to Ramallah to arrest terrorists." She rode in an armored "Jeep", which she says was fired upon when they entered the city, something she found "interesting." She saw soldiers going into people's houses, tearing apart all their shit to find contraband, and then arresting them (she actually got out of the car once to witness this). Ethan asks her if she found it "horrifying", to which she replies it was "strange" and "surreal."

Just shows how completely secure Israelis feel in their domination of the occupied territories that a desk jockey treats going to terrorize some Palestinians like a field trip.

Wanna point out that Ethan, after learning that they'd arrested a "terrorist", asked her if they "put it in the same jeep than she was in"

Thanks for the summary / original video. The streamer style of pausing a video to add some poorly thought out commentary every 8 seconds is so obnoxious.

She fucking knows, dude. She knows this shit was fucked, but also it sells well to the American hogs to tell them you’re IOF so they’re going for it. My buddy Hans let me into the camps for an “adventure “type energy. Ghouls

Whatever, she is a complete loser, just like her husband, who looks like a divorced dad.

God I remember being a teenager and watching a little h3h3 from time to time, they never were a favorite but they were popular and decently entertaining. I was so barely aware of Palestine that I just wouldn't have put the pieces together that Ethan and Hila weren't a simple international couple — something I considered sweet — but that Hila was rather a damned war criminal participating in 19th century settler-colonialism in the 21st century.

Every day I feel more and more revolted by all the things I didn't notice or didn't pay attention to back then, and I feel more and more disappointed in the naïveté I had about so-called "Israelis" for so long.

Whole H3H3 channel was a zionist op confirmed

Idgaf about h3h3 or badempanada so this isn't normally the kind of thing I'd watch, but I had some time to kill at work here and that shit was way more disgusting than I expected

These fuckers are so much dumber and more evil than I could have imagined

Breadtube if it didn't suck.

Post videos you genuinely enjoy and want to share, duh. Celebrate the diversity of interests shared by chapochatters by posting a deep dive into Venetian kelp farming, I dunno. Also media criticism, bite-sized versions of left-wing theory, all the stuff you expected. But I am curious about that kelp farming thing now that you mentioned it.

Low effort / spam videos might be removed, especially weeb content.

There is a cytube that you can paste videos into and watch with whoever happens to be around. It's open submission unless there's something important to commandeer it with at the time.

A weekly watch party happens every Saturday (Sunday down under), with video nominations Saturday-Monday, voting Monday-Thursday. See the pin for whatever stage it's currently in.
