>>11803059I met hit in person at the Duncan Lemp protest in Montgomery Maryland, really nice guy. Followed his Instagram account and saw the progression of his views from center right to hard right. He used to be a hardcore libertarian, as in comparing cops to Nazis kind of libertarian. As soon as the BLM protests started in late spring he would report on it, he would travel to a lot of these big cities with protests to see what was happening.
He started to draw back when the Boogaloo movement was in full swing and he caught a glimpse of how complacent they were to the demands of BLM. He would butt heads with a lot of Boogaloo people on every topic, until they started passing him off as racist/nazi/fascist. I think he got to a point where he just said "fuck it" and became what the people he hated had said he was.
I distinctly remember some big Boogaloo account leaking his DMs with gypsy. He had said something about BLM and how they weren't deserving of the boogaloo movement's empathy (something along those lines but with the word nigger thrown around a lot lol) Afterword's gypsy posted a video with the 14 words over a backdrop of fashwave videos and music. At first I thought it was a parody of what other people were calling him, but it continued.
He has had so many accounts deleted on instagram, youtube, and twitch so its hard to find him.
But I guess the real take away is that this man went from being really friendly to everyone (he still is the the right people), hating cops for abusing their power, and just a real moderate in terms of politics to what he is now. He was shaped by this disgusting world we live in.
He is the living embodiment of "gradually I began to hate them"
