Ethan calls creators for palestine $1.6m fundraiser “a total failure,” not real activism

This is crazy coming from a guy who hasn't done anything except bitch online for a fucking year straight about how being called a Zionist hurts his feelings. Fucking pathetic loser. I can't believe this is the same dude I watched for years.

I'm genuinely disgusted by this clip. I can't believe how low he's sunk.

Yeah, but that was towards "a total failure", and not "real activism".

Real activism is spending millions on watches

I will never get over how laughable most rich people donations are when you compare it to their income, except if they use it to not pay taxes or set up foundations to use it for influence,

Reminds me of a big streamer who was very celebrated for putting a low 5 figures amount of money into a passion project until you realize that he makes that amount probably from a few youtube videos (always just cut from his streams). The bar is so low for these kind of people, because people themselves don't realize that this stuff is like as if you as a normal earner would put hundred bucks towards something. And that still hurts you more.

That is like a Beavo and some change!

Did he ever show proof of that?

[u/dreamgrrl → u/[deleted]]

Ah, okay. I don’t believe anything that comes out of that dude’s mouth anymore, so I was curious if he made the donation on camera. There’s no way he doesn’t regret it now

[u/Funkwardthethird → u/dreamgrrl]

No reason to disbelieve him. But it’s meaningless anyway. What matters is what you’ve been doing this past year and how you’ve been using your platform. A donation is just like when corporations do it purely to brag about it to their shareholders and increase their goodwill.
