      I think there was one time someone moderately well known person brought up his CP statements on Twitter, AND LIKE THE NEXT DAY some fairly prominent journalist wrote an article on their blog defending him and nobody discussed it ever again. But sadly I don’t recall the details.

      For me that seemed more a confirmation he’s an Op than anything.

          You could argue that’s a sort of “limited hangout” for him. They let him be pro-palestine cuz they know the pro-israel bloc is so powerful that his opposition is meaningless. Plus most people with even moderately left scruples is pro-palestine so him being an Israel stan would blow his over. Meanwhile if he took a more controversial stance on anything more contentious he could actually guide baby leftists in the right direction.

            Nah. A considerable part of his followers were very much on Israel’s side immediately after October 7th and he was firmly pro-Palestine the whole time. He argued with his fans on twitter and wanted his subreddit to be purged because of how pro-Israel it was. It was a real heartbreaking moment and there’s no way he hasn’t swayed some of his followers over to the pro-Palestine side.

            He’s not an op, he’s just a lib and an awful person.
