    Any proof that he is right winger, that’s not made by some fundamentalist?

    Because last bullshit I read is that he was right wing because he liked technology…

        I complain about Woke a lot and I’m a dyed in the wool leftist to be fair. There’s a broader spectrum of opinion out there.

          *on american scale. Most american lefists wouldn’t look out of place in russian coalition of right forces.

        What I read is his friends identified him as economically leftist, but took issue with identity politics

          Which depending on context could be as simple as “I dont care ill mind my own business you mind yours.” which I suspect is what most folks opinions boil down to.

          Identity politics will be the downfall of democracy if Democrats don’t stop that bullshit

            The problem with that is that oppression injustice, and inequity are often based on a person‘s identity

              Still do it, just don’t base your entire platform on it. It’s not that hard to understand but most democrat politicians can’t

                Agreed there, democrats continue to refuse to challenge their economic masters and try to use identity politics as a sop

            Why do you blame Democrats for identity politics and not Republicans for passing laws based on identity politics?

              Because that’s what Republican voters want and that’s enough for them. They vote on spite and hate and the GOP feeds them it

            I don’t believe that the democrats actually based their entire platform on identity politics. That’s more a right wing issue, in that they have an issue with the existence of certain groups of people.

            I don’t remember seeing a trans person as a speaker at any of the rallies for the DNC, for instance.

          Don’t think so. “For the greater good” - heavily associated with left wing - is a rationalist take.

            they are peter-thiel-style libertarians and “race realists”, among the most extreme of the far right you can get. that very term “grey tribe” comes from an essay by scott alexander who consistently goes to bat for racist and fascist causes. there’s nothing remotely left about them.

        The idea of being a ‘rationalist’ or ‘realist’ is literally almost always just one finding excuses to not call themselves nihilists
