About the h3 / Hasan video..

I am (30/F/voted for Kamala) being honest and genuine in this post. I have been a huge h3 fan since 2017. And separately, I started learning about politics since 2020. I am genuinely confused for a number of reasons. I really do want clarity but I’m really just conflicted. When I first started teaching myself politics online, yes, I watched some Hasan clips because a couple people I knew recommended him to me. But I also watched other content creators on YT. I’ll be honest, some of the channels I started watching were because Hasan watched these channels on his stream (ex: “Second Thought”… pretty sure, etc) They all seemed to align with the “America bad..” narrative. But at the same time, it all kind of made sense. Stuff about Imperialism, like American military going to these “lesser than” or poor locations and taking over and, according to Hasan and these videos, “destroying their perfect or fine social democracy or communist economies/systems/etc”. That made a lot of sense to me. But Ethan says this is anti-American propaganda. And this came up again when he was talking/arguing with Fidias the most recent time they spoke on the show. I’m not super verse in politics. I’ve only been reading/learning about it for maybe 5 years. But how do we know that Ethan is right or that Hasan is right? It genuinely is causing confusion for me. It causes more confusion for me because it’s really easy to believe that the US military is ordered to go into these territories and take over (even when they might have something good going on, like a version of socialism or social democracy), in order to improve their lives but also makes sense so we can go in and take over power for things like resources and control. After hearing what Ethan has had to say about all this (I have watched every h3 show and h3h3productions video) it still leaves me with the thought that, yes, it seems there is at least some propaganda from both sides. And I’m left being a little bit confused and wonder what is propaganda and what is not propaganda. There are certain things that seem obvious that really happened, like the Oct 7th occurrences. I don’t question that. But I questions other things. Idk I’m just confused af!! This is bigger than Hasan and Ethan. But a lot of my “coverage” is bc of them and I have heard conflicting things.. in the greater scheme of things. It sucks. How do we know what’s real anymore…
