    He sort of could’ve been if he stuck with his psudo-hippy crap. Then he started decrying science and vaccines and hanging out with rightoids. The left actually believes in science and doesn’t like obnoxious charlatans like Peterson or Rogan, so his audience shifted.

      I’ve known an extreme hippy be antivax before, so maybe that was the route he took

        More like was hoping to drag more vulnerable tacitly-left people to the right with him. He clearly decided to shift his rhetoric. There was no way in hell his audience was staying the same. He also shifted way too hard to make it subtle, so anyone with strong axioms was right out too.

        Many hippies I know are completely anti western medicine so being antivax is kind of a given for them.
