I've seen him say things about his mother and his ex-wife that make me think that he's felt embattled for a good portion of his life, combine that with the overactive pattern recognition of the conspiracy theorist, and I'd say he was ripe for the internet loonies to recruit him. I mean he's been crazy for longer than the alt right have existed.

Antisemitism and weird conspiracy theories have been hand in hand since before WW2.

Actually, did you know that Nazi stands for National SOCIALIST German Workers' Party? From what I can tell, a lot of socialists seem to be on the left!

This heated war between the one uncharitable right-wing conspiracy theorist and the cabal of pretentious pseudo-psychosociologists is pretty funny.

Yeah but it was never as palatable as when it went "alt-right". The alt-right (and the Tea Party before it) made it okay to lean fascist in polite society.

"Pretentious" is a loved word by the right because the right value instinct and phony "common sense". It makes the left seem out of touch and effete.

That makes me think that you've been called pretentious many times in the past and instead of actually thinking about how it applies to you you've instead warped it to be a derogative used by your opponent that has no meaning when in fact does.

But look at me, psychoanalyzing. I've become what I hate.

I don't have a sister and if I did she'd likely be riddled with cooties so no can do.
