Funnily enough he used to be pretty left.
It's like this right wing conspiracy pipeline is a honeypot for pond scum that reveals who they really are.
Populist rhetoric works because it offers seemingly simple solutions to complex problems and excuses behavior that would otherwise be unacceptable.
Sometimes it's even a good excuse, others just an outlet for hate and stress.
I thought he was quite left as well hadn't realized he swung to the right
He always struck me as one of those people who wasn't, in his heart of hearts, actually left-wing, but rather just wanted to be counter-cultural. The culture has shifted around him and now if he wants to be counter-cultural it means being alt-right.
Me too. Damn. Conspiracy to fascist pipeline got another one, I guess.
pretty left or just far-right?
the swiss LEGA also agrees with a lot of the far-left on how to deal with social Problems, but is still far-right.
