Oh shit. He's a Nazi? Fuuuuck. I thought he was just a plagiarizer.
Unfortunately not:

Hate to be the bearer of bad news, but yeah. Sorry for the reddit link but that's where a lot of the info is aggregated.
Wow. Someone over there is defending him being a fan of the Proud Boys guy because he claims the Proud Boys aren't a terrorist group (despite having been declared as such).
He says they're "very extreme right at worst", as if there's some sort of sliding scale on the right wing that eventually gets to "extreme right", "very extreme right", "terrorist organization" just naturally...and he isn't aware they crossed the line years ago.
As if 'very extreme right' (not a thing, they're nazis. The word is nazis) isn't like. Bad. Like apparently that's a respectable position for the simple idea that it is on a 'scale'?
And yes, fully agree. Even if there was a 'scale' (this is debateable) they crossed that line waaaaaaay long ago. Like 2016, maybe even before.
Well fuck
Oh wow did not know this. What a d*ckbag
I’ve never heard of this guy until reading your comment, and I’m glad I never consumed any of his content.
