    This is going to further entrench the, concerningly common, idea that the right wing is currently more anti-establishment than the left.

      It’s more of a symptom that the left does not exist in America, so that disenfranchised people turn to the populist right which then funnels away all the radical energy.

      What has the left, if there exists such a movement, done to advance healthcare rights during a global pandemic over the last few years, an opportunity handed to them on a platter? The answer is none, if anything they completely folded to the establishment narrative. So there shouldn’t be any surprise why the left keeps losing ground in America.

      I don't think he's an ideologically committed right winger tho, he just has a confused ideology because he's the perfect target demographic for the algorithm to serve right wing shit to. His twitter feed is pretty much what I'd expect from an average techbro college student.

          For the record, your posts on this subject are a breath of fresh air. It's so tiring seeing all the idiots on this website tripping over themselves to justifying their continued desire to lionize this guy.

          Mostly all He/Hims too, but I doubt pointing that out would be taken very well. What a shocker that it's he/hims that have no issue with their favorite special 'heroic' twink of the day being a reactionary acclerationist.

            And probably all white; considering I haven't seen one em_poc poster actively rallying for him in the wake of the (alleged, bc I don't really know how much I believe Luigi == Robin Hoodie reporting just yet) information hitting the 24/7 news cycle.

          I know this is a real ideological current but I don't think the average techbro dude that reposts Elon tweets knows anything about any of this.
