Wingnut Welfare is a real thing:

Wingnut welfare is an important, underrated feature of the modern U.S. political scene. I don’t know who came up with the term, but anyone who follows right-wing careers knows whereof I speak: the lavishly-funded ecosystem of billionaire-financed think tanks, media outlets, and so on provides a comfortable cushion for politicians and pundits who tell such people what they want to hear. Lose an election, make economic forecasts that turn out laughably wrong, whatever — no matter, there’s always a fallback job available.

It's definitely not just right-wing

I've never heard that term before. Interesting, thanks for the link.

Surprising (or maybe not so surprising) what kind of Youtuber he went to:

> Damore made the comments in his first major interview since being fired, to alt-right YouTube personality Stefan Molyneux.

You say that as if not being a leftist is somehow immoral, illegal or wrong.

Note it says "alt-right", not "right wing". The alt-right is a thinly veiled label for a hate/white-supremacy group.

A martyr is born. I wonder if he will be crowned "based Googler" or something.
