Like Joe Rogan, Jordan Peterson built an audience and then gradually shifted it towards a neo-fascist ideology. A former co-worker brought him up constantly and wore his t-shirts every day. This guy seemed to have no idea he had been sucked into a disinformation vortex or that every time he said the name I cringed my face off.
You could be describing Glem Greenwald or a host of other ‘true’ progressive leftists.
