What. The fuck.
@Najawin Like... like this guy's views aren't just incoherent, that's one thing. That's fine. A lot of people have incoherent views. But his views aren't even internally coherent. Like, if you're Jackson Hinkle you should disagree with Jackson Hinkle
@StarkLN He first got popular as like a hardcore Berniecrat iirc, then he pivoted into Trumpism, all the while spreading "anti-imperialist" propaganda (so like pro-Assad, pro-Putin stuff). Then post Oct 7th he went hard anti Israel, while still laundering his pro-Putin/right wing talking points into the messaging. He's fundamentally a grifter who's almost certainly getting paid by Russia, but he'll switch up his messaging to launder these viewpoints into whatever gets him the most views.
@Najawin Damn that's bad but that's not even what I was talking about by internally incoherent, like...
Like I'm so confused. These posts were in the same day. I don't even know what he thinks because he's tweeting contradictory stuff. Within like, 5 minutes of scrolling I found
- Orthodox Christian (because of course)
- Despite the Christian part, a Communist
- Despite these, likes Islam
- Despite the Communism, pro-Putin
- "Ukraine are Nazis"
- Despite this, Jews did 9/11
- Despite this, people are actually overreacting about 9/11 (by association)
Has to be ChatGPT or something
@StarkLN Again, you just need to understand that he has no real beliefs, he's just grifting, just trying to get as many views as possible and launder Russian propaganda. There's no worldview, just a rough idea of what gets him views.
@Najawin I get this part. He's just lying, ok. But he has 2.7 million followers, and surely at least 20% of them aren't botted!? I'm just so confused at who's looking at Jackson Hinkle and thinking "this guy knows"
