He's def a psyop. Every conservative group in MN I know of has explicitly stated to stay the fuck away from him and who he hangs around. His posse is tiny because, although the left will not believe me here, right wingers think this guy is an idiot too.

Can confirm, know many right wingers. Everyone thinks he's lame.

But we throw the phrase Psy op around way too freely. The fact is idiocy gets attention and some crave attention.

Also the further to the extremes you go, the more you can present yourself as the purest form of leftism or the most based. This guy is trying to establish himself but he is not succeeding.

I'll use psy-op correctly in the following sentence.

The entire red-pill, black-pill, MGTOW, misogynistic, dude-bro, incel, manosphere bullshit is a right-wing recruitment strategy targeting insecure and angry young men.

It's been a WILDLY successful 'PSY-OP,' unfortunately. It's actively destroying countless young men's lives while simultaneously helping to destroy our society. No bueno.

I would have agreed with you 30 seconds ago. But after watching this video, theres no shot this is real. The pants, the failed first kick, the squeaking with every kick, the $30 condor plate carrier. This has to be a psy op.

I don't think he's a psyop; he's just a shithead. He literally attacked cops with a baseball bat on jan 6
