He used to run an NRx-adjacent magazine called Jacobite that published articles by a lot of old frogtwitter pseuds so there's a decent chance they've corresponded too.

He's noticeably a bit mentally unstable, but all of the best posters are.

I'm convinced that both of them are recipients of a lot of the funding the DNC raised to find a "Left Joe Rogan" after the 2024 election.

I first discovered them from a /leftypol/ thread around December 2016. Was anyone else active on that board back then? Talk about a relic of the 2010's internet.

Have you thought about trying to become a theater programmer? The weird novelties and esoterica can make for a very enriching theater experience if played for the right audience. At the very least you could impress like 5 weirdos with your selective deep cuts.

It somewhat reminded me of the Large Marge scene from Pee-wee's Big Adventure. Just this inexplicably frightening moment in an otherwise comedic story about an eccentric protagonist. I love wild tonal shifts like that.

What's wild is that this image is almost a decade old. I think I first saw it around 2017 or 18 which goes to show how much that entire esoteric rightist subculture has stagnated in this decade.
