Twitter leftist: I want landback, I want decolonization, I want to end capitalism, by any means necessary! Except the media must remain untouched, and no one from the bourgeoisie must he harmed in any way. People like Lenin and Castro did that and they're all evil authoritarian dictators.

Nathan Fielder: Okay.

      (spoilers for latest episode the rehearsal ahead)

      i think he somewhat implied that he’s pro palestine at the end of episode 5

          I can't say what his actual views are on the matter, but I think there was two jokes there. One was about the generational split in the Jewish community on the matter, it's not universal but the younger generation is much more pro palestine (at least from jews I know in canada) and have to do a "well it's complicated" thing with their family. What he might also be going for is that the show for him is a professional environment, so sort of the relatable thing of your coworker going off on something you disagree with them about, and you having to do a very non-committed take out of fear of it harming your livelihood.

            Not only that, but earlier in the episode he talked about being a pushover.

      I think the humour there is the irony. But I mean also, it's the Canadian green party. Who cares if they get shat on. They're realistically another Liberal party, except wanted carbon taxes a bit earlier. Hell, Stephane Dion might be more radical environmental policy than they are.

          Ideological coherence takes a lot of effort that he has probably not put in. I would guess he is further left than average and beyond that any guesses are pretty pointless given the amount of info we have

      I want Nathan Fielder to do more political things tbh but I’m afraid he’d turn out to be a chud.

      He's either an autistic Che Guevera or the worst libertarian you've ever met. I'd prefer never to find out.

      I want to believe he's at least a shit lib. I mean, would a chud attempt guerilla Santa photoshoots in a mall after they'd told him no? That doesn't sound very... respectful of their property rights ya know what I'm sayin'
