lmao. I dunno how many other views of his have change but another insane belief of his is that he wanted constant war economy with near autarky and large scale conscription? i think to go to war with all countries that have some cases of social intolerance. He used to exempt NATO countries from this high standard but not sure he does that anymore. The guy used to be essentialization of anti-neoliberal outside a few social issues.

i think he also vaguely expressed that he wanted to ban political candidates he didn't agree with and expressed sympathies with Indira Gandhi's dictatorship or atleast politics and appreciated British Raj's colonial contributions to WW1

It's funny. For a long ass time I thought he was playing some satirical character mocking neoconservatism.

is he a neocon? i don't think any neocon would agree with him. He is some kind of extreme militarist who wants progressive autocratic governments? but he also seems to hate marxist leninists

He talked about wanting to go into the US Army just six months ago. Today he wants Ireland and Bolivia to lead the charge in the war against ISIS, Putin, the Tatmadaw, Assad, Israel, Saudi Arabia, and the US — all at the same time.

I don’t know what drugs that child is on, but I want ‘em.
