I wonder if this is the start of his right wing pivot.

[–] [email protected] 27 points 11 months ago

In his most recent video (the Philly one), his main points are:

  • Tranq is killing people
  • Open drug use is used to open new neighborhoods to redevelopment. In the 80s and 90s it was done inside.
  • Property crime is often a reaction to gentrification and displacement
  • Unhoused women are particularly hard off

The most right-wing point he makes is when he lets users and locals say they wish they would be arrested so they could get clean. But he ties this in to his point about property development.

This seems more like a neocon pivot, which he seemed to be making BEFORE the allegations.

Kinda makes Brace's association with him a bit sus.

I wouldn't consider it a sus association so much as it was just the zeitgeist of 2020. He was the only notable gonzo journalist covering the gatherings the left was interested in but wouldn't attend ourselves. It's an ecological niche that still hasn't been filled well and the podcasts that featured him still don't do street interviews for the most part.

Yeah I generally just write it off as "Brace wanted to go on a road trip where he gets to interview weirdos and didn't realize the guy he was riding with was a sex pest neocon."

Gearing up to call out the woke mob for trying to cancel him?
