If someone is gullible enough to fall for such that hard once, they cannot be fully trusted not to do so again. Politics aren't divorced from you as a person, what you believe in betrays much about your mental state and personality. And a grown adult person doesn't just 180 that hard, not without something far more horrifying underneath.
I doubt he is pretending, he probably truly believes what he says now. But like any TERF, its only because it personally effects him now and he thinks its some wild cancer taking over instead of directly blamable on people like him's actions from yesteryear.
We've also learned from decades of study that "being able to fall victim to a cult" is a personality trait onto itself. One that people don't just magically fix when they escape. Some might recognize what mistakes they made that led them astray and work to better themselves. Most simply become insane crusaders against those who they think dared to prey on them, and don't grow in the slightest from it.
For example, most atheists treated escaping "religion" as they would a cult, and built their entire personality on being "better" than it. Yet when wokeness came around, they fell completely and easily to a brand new cult that even the simplest of thinking could have helped them avoid.
Point is, it doesn't matter if I'm right. These people are not "suddenly based and red pilled." They are the same person they always were, just now they are saying things you agree with.
I think the point is not so much that he's "a leftist" per se, but that he's a perennial radical looking for something to get all agita about. Yesterday it was blah, today it's anti-blah, and smart money doesn't bet on where he currently is, but that the human ball-in-a-roulette wheel will most likely continue to keep on boffing about.
I don't know about "most" here. The Atheism+ movement originally got a lot of pushback... just not enough, as it turned out.
Yeah, once Atheism+ took over the "skeptic" convention scene, it went from numerous conventions of 10s of thousands of people to ... well, nothing. I don't even know if any of them still exist.
The leaders might all be Rebecca Watsons, but that doesn't mean much when she's an unpopular cunt.
