I don't know him, so I took a quick look. It looks like he was against some of the mandatory COVID measures. I don't really understand the point of you trying to call out his politics here. It's not the topic at-hand, and his views are hardly outside the mainstream, and at a first glance don't seem to be hateful or bigoted. So can't we just stick to the topic, and agree to disagree instead of trying to wholesale imply this guy holds "sus" (i.e. "not acceptable") views?

Sus doesn't mean "not acceptable".

Anyway, "against some mandatory measures" is an understatement. He's literally an antivaxxer and it's not just about COVID. E.g.: https://twitter.com/unconed/status/1558063608772366337

You don't have to go far back in his Twitter timeline to also see him bashing the trans movement, green energy and Ukraine. He's definitely hateful and bigoted.

Notch was cancelled for less.

So? Who cares. Just because he is a thinking and breathing human being with a pulse and a different view than you. How many times have you made the front page of a prolific website? That’s like me telling the world — you, based off one comment sampling that you are stuck up and one dimensional …. Which we both know isn’t true, right? Benefit of the doubt.

"Different view" is a nice way of putting it. He's literally an alt-right troll.

Tabloid papers have been on the front page here. I wouldn’t it hold it in such high honors.

Or https://twitter.com/unconed for the full experience. I used to follow him for gfx stuff, until he lost his marbles during covid. The world at large has moved on with their life but from a cursory scroll he's still living in 2020.

He is literally citing Chomsky on manufactured consent in the top tweet.

The world has indeed moved on, because according to the consent Covid is now magically over in 2022, so now we are supposed to worry about the latest manufactured crises like Taiwan etc.
