Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.

Rules:

-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --

-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --

-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --

-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today/ . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --

-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--

-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--

-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --

-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

no ideological leaning but someone who is skimming dark enlightenment transhuman/AI adjacent bullshit.

fuck he's fash isn't he fuck fuck

(maybe not. sorry im going through some things reading his twitter. dude is a mess. god americans wtf. it's like some combo of dark enlightenment and ~~anti-capitalist~~ with a side of eco lib)

[–] Shaleesh@hexbear.net 53 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Yeah, it looks like he is atleast not our kinda guy. Theres antifeminist shit and wanking about Rome in there. Fuck this shit, fuck this country.

[–] hellyesbrother@hexbear.net 64 points 1 week ago

The fact that even terminally online, right wing tech bros think the U.S. healthcare system is unethical speaks volumes.

Luigi Mangione, go on Ben Shapiro.

He's not explicitly tied to any ideology, just your average confused mid 20s American dude. That means lots of rightwing bullshit, it appears to just permiate the air over there.

[–] Bidentime@hexbear.net 15 points 1 week ago

It's the only air over there. The "left" in the past decade has completely abandoned that space

[–] quarrk@hexbear.net 42 points 1 week ago (1 children)

He’s anti trans too, based on an April 5 retweet

[–] Sulvor@hexbear.net 37 points 1 week ago

This dumbass shit too

[–] happybadger@hexbear.net 33 points 1 week ago

I picked up on the Futurology Guy stuff, the AI fetishism, and the light references to Malthusian overpopulation shit. He strikes me as a vaguely right-wing libertarian, but I didn't see enough from that 5 minute glance at his twitter to really classify him or say how far into that pipeline he is.

[–] space_comrade@hexbear.net 20 points 1 week ago (1 children)

fuck he's fash isn't he fuck fuck

I don't think so but seems like he's at least halfway there with all the chud bazinga elon shit he's reposting.

Looks like this site has entered the box ticking phase of leftism to “claim” people

Extremely nauseating, childish and unproductive. Wait until you learn about what actual war entails! Sometimes it’s briefly siding with people you have ideological disagreements with against a common enemy

[–] space_comrade@hexbear.net 20 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

Yeah people do that a lot here. I remember people being disappointed in Greta because she said some lib shit a month after mentioning the word "imperialism" once. I don't think people really get how much of an extreme minority their political position is.

Most people don't really think about and deliberately form their ideology as much as we do here, they just absorb disparate ideas based on their life circumstances and what kind of propaganda they're exposed to. Even if you can coax a leftist viewpoint out of most people here and there doesn't mean they're anywhere close to you ideologically.

it's more just whiplash. i think if he was just a baseline activist lib or apolitical party guy or even just an actual libertarian live-and-let live guy it wouldn't be as bad

nobody was expecting a marxist leninist or ancom.

[–] quarrk@hexbear.net 4 points 1 week ago

Nah this guy just has an extremely common hatred of healthcare CEOs which transcends political boundaries. Nothing from his Twitter screams leftist. Liking Atlas Shrugged and Ted Kaczynski is right-libertarian shit
