Absolutely true for the time the article was written (2017). He changed his ways after the Christchurch attacks which happened in 2019.

    He has stated his favourite author is a Japanese fascist who wanted to restore the emperor, Yukio Mishima, who tried to do a coup and killed himself when he failed.

    But I'm sure he just likes the guy for his prose, and has no particular fixation or interest in Nazi and fascist imagery and politics.

    I agree with the other things people mentioned, and I don't care that he did it for the money, attention of if he has nazi views (the point that he did it is important). But Mishima is really stretching it. He is really popular outside Japan and has a good prose. Much much nore non nazis like his writing so I wouldn't call it a dog whistle.

    "Keep moving the goalposts"? Mate this is my first comment in this comment chain. And it does make a difference to me personally if someone said something before a very public turnaround 5 years ago, or recently after this change

    lmfao

    Mate this is my first comment in this comment chain

    "in this comment chain" being the operative part, as if people don't have eyes to see you've been doing the same bullshit in this thread.

    said something before a very public turnaround 5 years ago,

    lmfao when this was started it was how could you possibly think he thought or believed anything bad, now it's before several years ago when he definitely for real changed all his views just don't ask me to name what those views are after I keep demanding everyone else provide evidence, next it'll be "but did he say it literally last week???"

    Just shut the fuck up and learn to not be so pathetic. Fucking hell.
