Ok I'm back. I'm European so probability is I see political spectrum slightly different to US sees it. In most interviews I have watched he's very down to earth in not supporting any left wing policies. He hates antifa which for me means you are silent when fascism comes crawling. I would categorise him as center. Don't call me right wing, well don't allow them to spread shit on your show and argue against it.



Antifa's methodology is to use direct action, including violence and harassment. The idea that one should attempt to silence or bully people who disagree with them is fundamentally illiberal.

To say that one cannot be left-wing without supporting political violence is authoritarian ideology not espoused by all leftists.


>He hates antifa which for me means you are silent when fascism comes crawling.

This is your misguided statement. Not only is it logically flawed, it's the, "if you aren't for us, you're against us" reasoning. Maybe you should research antifa a little more before you get in bed with them ideologically. I see a bunch of goons in masks punching people.
