In my opinion this really popped off when Dan debated Ethan at the end of an episode on Socialism. Ethan has always had a hard time understanding what is considered “left wing” and where he falls in the spectrum. He had his brain broken when his own chat/community was telling him he had bad takes on capitalism being the best economic system. Rather than having a nuanced opinion, his takeaway was, lefty equals socialist which equals communist which really means you’re a fringe tankie. The way he trash talks anything with a semblance of being “lefty” and reverts to “I’m a liberal” is what frustrates a lot of his own community. We see a person in real time building bridges with actual allies, only to turn around and burn them and would rather “squash the beef” with dumb ass alpha bros who he will never change their mind on the basis of we have to have to be able to have discussions. Let’s not forget, leftovers began after Hasan and Ethan debated XQC and Train about gambling streams. Sure they were doing shady crypto gambling, but the point was about the influence and exposing their younger, more vulnerable fan base to a vice that is the most deadly. Now H3 is in a gambling era that honestly is so boring. So I think it’s slightly hypocritical for Ethan to feel as if he is taking a moral stance and wasting his time instead creating beef with people that are far more aligned with his views then who he is choosing to squash the beef with.
I also don’t think people remember that AB and Lena are friends with Frogan.
He has, numerous times lol. Ethan said he deleted it, then he revealed later on that he still looks at stuff but doesn’t respond. Dan got annoyed and told him to just give it up entirely.

Final note. Dan is the queen.
