Oke so here’s my 2 cents. He started as a lawyer with a blog regarding the patriot act. It eventually lead to the intercept and Edward Snowden. While fighting the intercept on the hunter Biden laptopt story he also liberated Lula (Brazil’s president) from prison that was orchestrated by the CIA. So… He left the intercept due to the Biden story being concerned.
I therefore think he had a special hatred for the democrats as shown in his early rumble videos.
However, in his latest videos he’s way more balanced and does great works with multiple journalists around the world concerning Ukraine, Israël, privacy, censorship and USA imperialism. He doesn’t or rarely uses the word imperialism though. I think because a significant part of his audience is right wing.
Nevertheless, in his latest videos he has been bashing right wing politicians about the hypocrisy of wanting to stop Ukraine funding but wanting to fund Israël’s genocide.
I think he’s trying to send the message without using certain terms as to not scare people away from the bigger picture.
Which is, the USA is fucked and is fucking the rest in the process.
I understand the friction with the American left holding him back and leading to his decision to go elsewhere, but cultivating a fash audience actively alienated a lot of his real life friends (see: public fallout with Chelsea Manning), let alone readers. Not to mention, however limited he felt with the Intercept not letting him criticize Biden too much, is just nothing next to the censorship he experiences now as you mention that he can’t even use any left wing language because his audience is almost entirely chuds. Dude just completely cooked himself over the laptop story.
