Any proof that he is right winger, that's not made by some fundamentalist?

Because last bullshit I read is that he was right wing because he liked technology...

[-] RageAgainstTheRich@lemmy.world 11 points 2 weeks ago

I read he complained about "woke" a lot.

[-] daniskarma@lemmy.dbzer0.com 34 points 2 weeks ago

Idk what's more woke that offing a CEO.

[-] LovableSidekick@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

Heart attacks have probably killed more CEOs than anything, but I wouldn't call them woke.

[-] uis@lemm.ee 2 points 2 weeks ago

Not offing CEO

[-] SlothMama@lemmy.world 27 points 2 weeks ago

I complain about Woke a lot and I'm a dyed in the wool leftist to be fair. There's a broader spectrum of opinion out there.

[-] uis@lemm.ee 1 points 2 weeks ago

*on american scale. Most american lefists wouldn't look out of place in russian coalition of right forces.

[-] agamemnonymous@sh.itjust.works 17 points 2 weeks ago

What I read is his friends identified him as economically leftist, but took issue with identity politics

[-] vaultdweller013@sh.itjust.works 5 points 2 weeks ago

Which depending on context could be as simple as "I dont care ill mind my own business you mind yours." which I suspect is what most folks opinions boil down to.

Identity politics will be the downfall of democracy if Democrats don't stop that bullshit

[-] dessimbelackis@lemmy.world 15 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

The problem with that is that oppression injustice, and inequity are often based on a person‘s identity

[-] Argonne@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago

Still do it, just don't base your entire platform on it. It's not that hard to understand but most democrat politicians can't

[-] dessimbelackis@lemmy.world 5 points 2 weeks ago

Agreed there, democrats continue to refuse to challenge their economic masters and try to use identity politics as a sop

[-] abbotsbury@lemmy.world 6 points 2 weeks ago

Why do you blame Democrats for identity politics and not Republicans for passing laws based on identity politics?

[-] Argonne@lemmy.world 5 points 2 weeks ago

Because that's what Republican voters want and that's enough for them. They vote on spite and hate and the GOP feeds them it

[-] madjo@feddit.nl 2 points 2 weeks ago

I don't believe that the democrats actually based their entire platform on identity politics. That's more a right wing issue, in that they have an issue with the existence of certain groups of people.

I don't remember seeing a trans person as a speaker at any of the rallies for the DNC, for instance.

[-] LovableSidekick@lemmy.world 6 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

I wouldn't say "right-winger" - he was apparently a "rationalist" aka gray tribe, a loose philosophy that places rational thinking above ideologies.

Greys are into eugenics, they’re weird.

[-] porous_grey_matter@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 weeks ago
[-] Lumisal@lemmy.world -1 points 2 weeks ago

Don't think so. "For the greater good" - heavily associated with left wing - is a rationalist take.

[-] porous_grey_matter@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 weeks ago

they are peter-thiel-style libertarians and "race realists", among the most extreme of the far right you can get. that very term "grey tribe" comes from an essay by scott alexander who consistently goes to bat for racist and fascist causes. there's nothing remotely left about them.

[-] OmegaLemmy@discuss.online 0 points 2 weeks ago

The idea of being a 'rationalist' or 'realist' is literally almost always just one finding excuses to not call themselves nihilists

[-] technocrit@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 2 weeks ago
[-] OmegaLemmy@discuss.online 1 points 2 weeks ago

Okay?

I was referring to those who acted nihilistic whilst calling themselves realists

[-] grue@lemmy.world 5 points 2 weeks ago

Because last bullshit I read is that he was right wing because he liked technology…

Man, I miss technology being left-wing.
