Nathan Pyle has such a consistent track record of hilarious observations. Thank you for the reminder to catch up on Strange Planet.

On the other hand, he's also an anti abortion Christian type.

sigh unfortunately there are a lot of cases where one must choose between upholding principles and enjoying genuinely ~~good~~ creative art. Nathan W. Pyle, David Draiman, Joanne Rowling.. I'm drawing the line after 'personally enjoying it' while 'ensuring my money doesn't support the creator / publisher directly' and before 'recommending others buy it'. I don't agree with trying to stop people from enjoying it but I will encourage not allowing the problematic source to make money from it.

What did draiman do?

He has always been an outspoken "pro-Israel Jew" which is a bad sign for everyone else;

Denied that Palestinians should be allowed to live and called pro-peace campaigners "idiots" and "Nazis in suits" essentially publicly announcing support for the Israeli government and the IDF in its acts of terrorism against Palestinian peoples;
Publicly supported war and mass murder of innocent people (although it should be noted that Zionists do not view a single Palestinian-born as 'innocent');
And has continued to double down, reflecting accusations of his apparent hatred onto his accusers ("I know you are but what am I");
Labeling being against terrorism and violence as pro terrorism and inciting Jew hatred;
And instigating violence against other celebrities who exhibit a different opinion to him

Overall his actual societal crime was consciously knowing his views of supporting mass violence are problematic and refusing to change or even accept a different worldview. He's just another successfully conditioned Patriot.

Alas, it's always strange how someone can be so vehement about something and still be vehement about the thing they care about doing what they think is being done.

I get the urge for jewish people to support each other, and the one country in the world that's "theirs". Totally understandable.

But when that country does the very things the people fear being done to them again, there's that lack of sense to see the hypocrisy of it.

It's sad
