Are the alt-right holding him up as a figure and driving most of his youtube views, or are you just labeling the people who listen to him as alt-right? That's not a rhetorical question... Given what I know of the guy - which is exclusively the result of seeing him being interviewed by other people, I've never seen a video he himself has put out - that didn't seem to me to be the case. I mean, he basically gained prominence as an opponent of bill c-16; are you suggesting that the only people who agreed with his positions on that were members of the alt-right? He's since become mainly a symbol of opposition to campus political correctness. Would that make the people who are generally aligned with him on that topic (say, Jon Haidt, Gad Saad, Greg Lukianoff) also alt-right?
We've officially de-railed this thread now by the way. Good job everyone. We did it.
