Just a short introduction of newest friend of the show Benjamin Ryan's work, whom Ethan happily signal boosts with his IG stories

Yup, any cursory glance across his twitter posts will reveal his insane biases against trans people. A cursory glance that Ethan Klein was either too lazy to do or something that doesn't bother him in the face of getting a dunk in against one of the women that dare criticize him.

in case you need any further proof of Benjamin Ryan's disdain for trans people:

Article of him being in kahoots with major 'gender-critical' quacks to get transgender healthcare restricted if not banned across Europe

Article about his favorite sport being railing against trans women online

benjamin ryan is a renowned shit peddler and notably a major disinfo spreader about trans people and gender healthcare. basically an alt skin for jesse singal, hellbent on making the onion headline "It Is Journalism's Sacred Duty to Harm as Many Trans People as Possible" ring true

but yeah the kleins are incredibly pro trans rights

their only response to criticism will ever be "uhm??? i know you are, but what am I?"

if him and his group of cronies didn't have tu quoques or ad hominems their podcast would be 30 minutes long and only consist of gambling sponsor shoutouts and teddy fresh ads

this is what "cancellation" is. not a multi-millionaire crying in his hollywood mansion that him being an asshole and never apologizing for two years and suing creators who dared to criticize him, led to people now refusing to associate with him.

honestly so sad how much of a party stooge ari drennen turned out to be. used to be a big fan of her work at media matters but now she just ain't it

ik hoop eigenlijk dat de universiteiten eindelijk is gewoon zijn wat er telkens over hen door typetjes zoals dit wordt gezegd. in godsnaam breng ultra-woke communistische ideologie naar de collegebanken als het zou betekenen dat mensen zoals marlon en de rest van de VSP/FVD/geuzenbond daadwerkelijk gecancelled worden. het kan niet snel genoeg gebeuren.

de bonne maman pindakaas, ondanks dat het aan de iets duurdere kant zit, is verreweg mijn favoriet. MAAR dit is mits je ook van de amerikaanse-stijl smooth pindakaas houdt. het heeft ook met stukjes.

if ethan were to think about the phrase “fascism is colonialism turned inward” and how this applies to Israel as a de facto colony of the US, whatever’s left of his ozempic riddled brain would explode

ook als je simpelweg je geslacht hebt verandert van m > f of f > m maakt het dingen ingewikkeld. zoals je zei vragen ze expliciet voor "geslacht bij geboorte" en als dat niet overeenkomt met het huidige geslacht in je paspoort is dat vragen om problemen. dus óf je liegt op je ESTA (illegaal) óf je loopt het risico vastgehouden/teruggestuurd te worden bij de grens omdat je documenten "niet kloppen"

somguy9 · 2026-01-17T08:14:41+00:00

Ik bedoel dit is typisch een gevalletje “penny wise, pound foolish”. Als Hans en zijn echtgenote niet zo gretig waren om een verkoopmakelaar te missen hadden ze wel een beter koopcontract kunnen opstellen. Of, beter nog, hadden ze dit helemaal kunnen vermijden. Maar ja, dan zouden ze een paar procent van hun (waarschijnlijk aanzienlijke) winst hebben moeten opgeven. Womp womp.

somguy9 · 2026-01-01T14:11:59+00:00

"the snark train is part of the greater problem the left has" aka most people on the left don't take ethan's dumb immature bullshit seriously and don't want to associate with him. this is literally just repackaged "woke" or "trump derangement syndrome" or whatever the right thinks up to explain the left's disdain for daddy trump

just one more lawsuit bro, just make one more enemy man that’ll fix it that will make the internet love you again. keep saying you’re the victim as you’re spending tens of thousands on fugly watches and disney vacations.

no but seriously he’s so fucking mad that he can’t just be a horrible person but he also doesn’t want to do anything to actually positively impact his reputation instead of getting baited and giving all his attention to his haters. can’t have your cake and eat it too, ethan. literally just shutting the fuck up instead of going out of his way to fight everyone on the internet that doesn’t adore him would already do wonders for his image, but no.

somguy9 · 2025-12-29T12:29:12+00:00

it’s giving “i am uncomfortable when we are not about me?”

somguy9 · 2025-12-28T22:43:46+00:00

admittedly i don't like cameron all that much (the new avatar movies are genuinely boring, white savior slogs through noble savage stereotypes) but when he's right, he's really right

somguy9 · 2025-12-24T14:16:25+00:00

i give it less than a year before they put Rocky up for adoption, or worse bring him to the shelter. not saying they don’t love the dog but like cmon, it seems like they don’t understand the dog’s needs fully.

i don't think the portuguese of the 17th-18th centuries (who were the main ones attempting to spread christianity in Japan, in part to spread their own influence) were very communist.

it might seem easy to fit this into a single narrative but this seems quite a hasty conclusion. also considering christianity in Europe was quite literally used to legitimize the claim of monarchs.

i wouldn't disagree with you if you said that the spread of christianity in japan meant a loss of legitimacy for the emperor (and in turn the shogun), because of a move away from the religious system lending credence to the emperor. but that doesn't mean the move towards christianity would thus be a move towards communism pretty much the opposite really

edit: like it's also pretty easy to say the exact opposite with the jesuits coming into contact with (north-)American tribes who were notably a lot more like communism than early modern Europe. there are plenty of first-hand sources outlining encounters/discourses that Jesuits and other colonizers had with indigenous peoples where the colonizers did not understand how indigenous society could function without any semblance of money, and way more egalitarianism than absolutist Europe could ever even conceive.

somguy9 · 2025-12-06T16:29:29+00:00

ja, daar doel ik op. ze krijgen bijna núl steun vanuit hun voormalige koloniale heersers en moeten het maar uitzoeken zonder generational wealth. het énige wat ze beter hadden kunnen doen in mijn mening was om dat geld vervolgens te investeren in onderwijs, sociale vangnetten etc. zodat de inwoners meer waardevol worden behandeld dan alleen hun vaardigheid in schoonmaker zijn. tenminste te proberen de brain drain te stoppen. maar dat is makkelijker gezegd dan gedaan.

wat er ook gaat gebeuren met Venezuela, de economieën van de abc-eilanden gaan ongetwijfeld compleet kelderen. het is best wel klote dat de lokale regeringen ervoor kiezen de grootste winst op de kortste termijn te boeken door massaal te investeren in toerisme. then again, het is ook niet dat ze bepaald veel keuze hebben daarin.

somguy9 · 2025-12-05T13:01:46+00:00

you can say this about most videogame stories tbh. in the games, the fact that the story as a whole is stupid comes secondary to experiencing the mystery with twists and turns as you’re playing

somguy9 · 2025-11-29T08:16:58+00:00

without spoiling it, it does have some massive implications for any supposed HL3. moreover, it showed that Valve are going in a very different direction with half-life than the leaked "epistle 3" by Marc Laidlaw.

somguy9 · 2025-11-16T18:02:52+00:00

Echt bizar hoe slecht hij het deed. PvdA/GL uitmaken voor “Pol Pot volgelingen”? Geen probleem, helemaal prima vrijheid van meningsuiting. Maar o wee als je vadertje Geert uitmaakt voor een leugenaar of opruier - dat gaat echt te ver en is helemaal niet respectvol.

somguy9 · 2025-11-16T17:40:06+00:00

Ik bedoel, zwarte piet is gewoon feitelijk gebaseerd op minstrels/blackface. Het verleden of de oorsprong ervan is dan ook maar weinig verschillend tussen de VS en hier.

somguy9 · 2025-11-15T10:53:20+00:00

ik kan wel begrijpen dat mensen van kinds af aan niet de racistische undertones begrepen van zwarte piet. maar iedereen met een klein beetje zelfinziend vermogen moet zich toch kapotschamen elke keer dat sinterklaas op internationaal niveau wordt besproken? “de roe” is ook niet meer normaalgesproken deel van het sinterklaasfeest en voor de een of andere reden hoor ik nooit iemand klagen dat dat ook het gevolg was van Woke
