Depressed cuz of h3 stuff

As a poc from the global south, a fan of both Ethan and Hasan. The way Ethan ways brown lives is so depressing. It hurts me, like what do I have to do for my pain and the death of my people to be worthy enough?

Ethan defends and supports Ukrainian resistance (based), but always demonising any type of brown resistance, be it Hezbollah or Palestinian people fighting back. In fact, he’s more charitable to fascist Israeli defence minister, who oversaw a genocide under an apartheid regime than he is to oppressed brown folk fighting back.

Like I’ve read about all this racist world views, but to see it happen in real time, how visceral he is towards it. Just hurts man.

I get it, be it the Yemeni people fighting back, Lebanese, or Palestinians, it will not be perfect, it won’t have the best people involved, it’s makeshift resistance group, living of scrapes, fighting to survive. If he can conceptualise and support Ukraine, then why not this? Why not be charitable? And yea you can criticise.

Why wouldn’t you bring in a Palestinian refugee to talk about their experiences? A Lebanese person whose family is displaced? Great that you brought on a Ukrainian but why not a brown person? It pains me so much. Especially how he attacked Hasan. It broke my heart, the podcast was a safe space for me.

Last thing I wanna say, is the white liberals. Disgustingly racist and devoid of actual politics, no critical takes. Just awful.

I left the h3 space, I love the crew. I love Dan, Ab, Olivia, and others. But I’m gonna try be more present here, I really need to find a new community. I feel so alone.
