In one tweet he suggested the rise of social justice was in part fabricated to demolish the political left in light of Occupy Wall Street,[0] and that much of U.S. politics is about hiding who is actually in control. Funnily, he was indirectly funded by Harvey Weinstein.[1] Overall I think, he is extremely courageous and has perfected the virtue of telling the truth, like telling entire established buildings of philosophy that they are full of it. In my opinion, we need more of guys like him who simply tell the truth instead of chasing the latest political applause light.

Given my comment above, I would completely disagree in this point. I agreed however, it seemed similar to me before the funding stories were published.

Oops, I meant Jeffrey Epstein. I wrote "funny" because of the ties to that U.S. elite and because he actually dares to indirectly question them all the time (but not via the fabricated social justice angle, of course). Also, the entire Weinstein/Epstein drama is an instance of sexuality having become absurdly politicized to the degree that mainstream knowledge on it is outright false.
