    Far right nutjob? Crypto bro? That is what I have been hearing… Can’t say for sure, though.

      Those are just insults people, who cannot gasp that someone could have a slightly different opinion about something, use against him.

      Some political things about him include: He …

      • is an anarchist (or somewhere on that political spectrum)
      • wants to have the right to own a gun
      • is pro free speech
      • thinks using money should not have to earn mega corporations that much money
      • thinks “brother should not kill brother” in the war in Ukraine
      • is not a fan of Elon Musk, Teslas or self driving cars
      • is pro Free Software and for privacy

      Obviously depends on what is meant with “far right nutjob”. If it implies that anarchy (no government) is the opposite of socialism (far left - maximum government) then yeah but usually it just means “massive bigot”, which I don’t think he is, otherwise give source.

      Similar with crypto bro. For me it means the pump and dump scheme scammer or at least someone who is pro crypto because he sees it as a mean to get rich quick. But if “Crypto bro” just means anyone who likes the advantages of crypto, then he indeed is one.

      But regardless of how we name things, he doesn’t have any evil values (as far as I know). He just has different opinions than the average lemmy user. It should not be hard to tolerate him, considering this platform is a mass murderer fanclub (actual evil values, not just “quirky” politics).
