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.
Right now, sort of the more important point though. The forum origin question is "What happened to him" which rather implies a concern with what he's going through and where he may eventually land. Nothing about the current work (which is sort of a low-rent George Alexopoulos) indicates that this content has its head on straight, because it's still straight-up reactionary. Okay, it swung from left-wing reactionary to alt-media reactionary, but it's still vacillating wildly.
A cynic would observe that the most likely answer is he licks his finger and sticks it in the wind to see where it blows. The more charitable answer is some sort of come-to-Jesus moment. Both together would agree that the overall personal situation is clearly all over the place.
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.
