    can we stop even remotely referring this dude as part of the 'left'? Like, the only reason I know about this motherfucker is because people on this site constantly name drop him and some seem to have followed him earlier and thought he was a leftist for some reason, constantly disappointed every time he says some chud shit.

      He is self-proclaimed left, which is enough to fool every liberal and chud because those don´t know what left even means

        Being vaguely anti-capitalist is now (or always has been?) the trend in calling yourself a leftist in the west it seems.

          I doubt he even has a real concept of anti-capitalism. Like with many western "leftists" it´s the aestetics and not the content.

            He makes vague gestures to anti-capitalist talking points, but will immediately abandon all that at the drop ofa hat to defend liberal politicians. He's still calling people "Bernie-or-busters" for refusing up vote for a capitalist war criminal.

      I at least understand how at a glance he could be mistaken for a leftist, or at least an MSNBC "progressive," but it should be obvious by now he isn't! Like, one of his biggest things is ranting about the evils of indigenous rights groups, under the assumption that they're trying to reclaim their land so they can immediately turn around genocide the white settlers. And that's when he's not ranting about trans people or pushing for war.

        I don't think even MSNBC 'progressives' do that....

        I'm sure he's getting paid to be a caricature of western "leftists":

        • pedo
        • misogynist
        • racist
        • terminally online
        • annoying

        This is gonna be used against trans people.

        To be fair, I still don't know who he is. This site combined with someone I know affectionately describing him as "rational libertarian left" gave me no reason to look into him.
