Someone on Lemmy Linux pointed out his past in detail, and I agree he was DEFINETLY going through the far right pipeline.
However, he never continued it, never delved into it farther, never pushed that crap further (the dirtiest thing was hosting I think Shapiro for meme review, which while very bad, at least didn’t keep that shit up. Do wish he’d delete the video though), and seems to have changed paths after getting into actual philosophy. He’s never been a politician who’s destroyed people’s lives or a billionaire or called for people to be harmed, either.
If we hold people like him to the same likeness of people like Musk or Shapiro etc, progressiveness will lose the cultural war to fascism. By equating any potential ally into an enemy, you only destroy your cause, and certainly only help fascists far more.

If you don’t let people make mistakes, change, and grow, you’re living a petty, sad life.
