    Isn’t this guy a communist?

    I can’t actually remember and I’m both curious and lazy

      Generally he just says whatever will spark the most controversy and clicks/interactions.

      His followers are mostly rightwing and gobble up any comment he makes in that direction. I think he himself is a psychopath. And I mean that in the most generous way one could use that description. He doesn’t care about anything. Not himself and certainly not about other people. What little empathy he does have is learned.

      Like when he called for the death of Palestinians I genuinely believe that he didn’t know why that’s bad. He learned that by backlash.

      He does advocate for general basic income. So that would put him in the leftist corner. But he is quick to generate hate towards groups of people. That can mostly be seen in his comment section.
