Ethan was never a good gateway to the left. People are just obsessed with racist white men being redeemed.
And yes, plenty of people considered him part of the left-wing pipeline because he made fun of people like Ben Shapiro.
He wasn't really ever a political guy to me, he seemed like one of those reaction/drama YouTubers who inevitably started talking about his dog shit politics because people pay more for that shit
Agreed. I liked his early comedy / Youtub drama videos, and that was it.
Though he never had good politics, even by liberal standards, at least he used to just not talk about it. He then just waded into it and wobbles thoughtlessly in every political direction without a single bit of cohesive thought behind anything he says. I still have genuinely zero idea why anyone likes it.
I stopped watching when he started the podcast (especially given one of the earliest episodes had Jordan Peterson on and was just them fawning at his super massive intellect).
