    I instinctively don't trust any white leftist whose whole shtick is that they constantly talk about how far right they used to be.

    Like, if you were literally a Richard Spencer fan a year ago, maybe it's not your place to teach or speak with authority on leftist issues. Deprogramming is a long, constant process.

      Also, someone who has said he is willing to work with the far right. How on earth is he not equally bad if not worst than Caleb Maupin ot Jimmy Dore?

        Honestly I think that's the majority of these "ex-Nazis" who say Vaush saved them or whatever. If a contra video essay can deprogram you, you werent actually a nazi. But those who used to be conservative and those who had been legit nazis almost always have the same fucking shit to say "see I will be fascist again if you hold any basic leftist position, you need to be more like nazis"

      My saying is: If you're proud of saying you were an ex-fascist, you're not an ex-fascist. If you were, you wouldn't want anyone to know you were because you would be ashamed and sickened by that fact.

      Yeah I'm pretty disappointed too. I think he just genuinely has lib brainworms.

      Also I'm pretty sure he's got travel restrictions on him. Yeah this sucks though.

    Didn't this guy torture people for the US government? And fifth column guy is praising him?

    Between this and patsocs, the absolute state of the western left.

      His story is that he got in trouble with the law, served his time, then became a leftist.

      Someone pointed out he's ex-CIA which honestly explains pretty much everything.

      he used to do work as a coyote afaik. so technically, yes, but i feel like 'human trafficker' has different connotations.

      edit: and apparently some other shit that i was not aware of that can be found by looking up Justin King's (his real name) court case.
