      He's not explicitly tied to any ideology, just your average confused mid 20s American dude. That means lots of rightwing bullshit, it appears to just permiate the air over there.

        It's the only air over there. The "left" in the past decade has completely abandoned that space

      He’s anti trans too, based on an April 5 retweet

      I picked up on the Futurology Guy stuff, the AI fetishism, and the light references to Malthusian overpopulation shit. He strikes me as a vaguely right-wing libertarian, but I didn't see enough from that 5 minute glance at his twitter to really classify him or say how far into that pipeline he is.

        Looks like this site has entered the box ticking phase of leftism to “claim” people

        Extremely nauseating, childish and unproductive. Wait until you learn about what actual war entails! Sometimes it’s briefly siding with people you have ideological disagreements with against a common enemy

          Yeah people do that a lot here. I remember people being disappointed in Greta because she said some lib shit a month after mentioning the word "imperialism" once. I don't think people really get how much of an extreme minority their political position is.

          Most people don't really think about and deliberately form their ideology as much as we do here, they just absorb disparate ideas based on their life circumstances and what kind of propaganda they're exposed to. Even if you can coax a leftist viewpoint out of most people here and there doesn't mean they're anywhere close to you ideologically.

              it's more just whiplash. i think if he was just a baseline activist lib or apolitical party guy or even just an actual libertarian live-and-let live guy it wouldn't be as bad

              nobody was expecting a marxist leninist or ancom.

          Nah this guy just has an extremely common hatred of healthcare CEOs which transcends political boundaries. Nothing from his Twitter screams leftist. Liking Atlas Shrugged and Ted Kaczynski is right-libertarian shit
