'Supports' does a lot of work in his post, 'mingles with' or 'enjoys the content of' is closer to the truth. Philosophical alignment with that kind of characters betrays contempt for certain groups.

A few boos are enough to make him re-platform a dude with that kind of public record? It shows brittle spirit, as his friend Dave Chappelle would say.

This one is the one that's serious, this kind of thing could amount to stochastic terrorism, but no one cares, because he's rich beyond measure, and that makes people excuse his every indiscretion.

It was a cursory google search, and while the burden of proof is on the one making the statements, it costs little to check it yourself.

It definitely isn't a good look for him, and while looks aren't that important, it does paint a picture of a man that has principles only outwardly, a man that is petty, and a man that thinks the world bends to his very word. It doesn't matter, though, the title 'billionaire' tells us that much, and grants him those powers.

Are you trying to make it harder to view the supposed sources? Is that because they don't support your point as well as you claim they do?


The first three paragraphs are the evidence for the fourth one. You can Google any of those to find news articles about what happened.
