As I said. If they do I’ll happily rebaseline.

I’ll be very surprised if they show me a tweet with strong support for trump.

For example. I had to google who miles cheong was and I have to be among the 0.000001% of politically engaged people.

When I say “red-pilled” I guess I should clarify to say that I don’t necessarily think he has adopted conservative positions on everything… It’s more a commentary on what issues he prioritizes and what he speaks out on. I don’t see much of anything on his feed about the harms of income inequality, or the need for universal healthcare, or whatever liberal positions he probably holds. Almost everything political is a rant about how DEI is bad, “wokeism” is killing America, liberals are too hard on rich straight white men, etc. He complained about how the Dems alienated Tulsi Gabbard. He went hard for Daniel Penny and spent months riding for Johnny Depp.

Can you hold some or even all of those positions and still be “liberal” in other ways? Sure. However, if you basically never talk about the other stuff but do find the time to rant about the Algerian boxer, I’m going to start questioning your priorities (and your information diet).

This is a fair take. That’s why I compare him to Harris. They have both convinced themselves that the biggest threat to a liberal democracy is “wokism” which leads them to spend all their time focussed on this one issue and no room to talk about their other liberal beliefs.

I’d still bet if both took a standard political spectrum test they would land largely left of center.

Yeah, but if someone in the far left bottom sector only ever posted Nazi talking points about trans people, does it really matter what the rest of their views are? If you cant make time and space for your ideas that are left wing and only make time and space for your views that are right wing, youre a right winger. Thats not purity testing. Its taking someone at their face value.

I don’t agree. It just means they are wrong on one issue imo. Your argument suggests they are sort of right in a weird way if you are placing “wokism” above all other issues that matter.

Isn’t it possible they are just getting caught up in the hottest issue online? Feels like both has fell into the rights trap and both are perfect targets, rich white dudes.

I mean… water off your back and everything, but I did a search because Chong has been posted/screenshotted dozens of times on this site and find this hilarious because you were literally called Ian Miles Chong in 2020.

Hyperbole much?

That “One issue” is the most important one to the online alt-right though. It would be like saying a celebrity in Nazi Germany who was all about the people, progressive on economic and social issues but agreed with the Nazis on the JQ. The nazis dont give a shit that this person wants to end homelessness or set up social safety nets. All they care about is that he agrees that the jews are inferior.

DANIEL is placing wokism above all other issues that matter, not those who are criticizing his right wing turn. Because he posts about it all the fucking time.

Yes! Thats a problem! They are being intelectually lazy in order to fuel and finance their bottom line (and because they likely believe the shit they are spewing.) Its the current republican playbook to a T.

That’s probably an underestimate compared to the population as a whole.

This I agree with but I still don’t agree with the extended argument this makes them alt-right.

lol watevs.

I guess you can believe I’m lying but I had no idea who he was till I googled him today.

:roll_eyes:

Yes, there are only like 4 or 5 people in the US and Canada more politically engaged than you.

Not trying to imply you were lying. If you search “cheong” for this site, it shows in 9 threads and just happened that your name was in one of the responses. The coincidence was funny to me. You pretty much dismiss watevs in the response anyway.

In my defence I am legitimately in the bottom 0.000001% of the population with respect to remembering peoples names. All my friends and family mock me endlessly about it.

Hi eyebooger! :grinning:

Hockey is ruined forever.

Youtube suggested to me a vid featuring some Italian dude Max Martinez or something like that. Good player or luckbox?
