... according to people with an axe to grind. I mean, his statement right there is counter-evidence to that claim, which is why I quoted it. There's plenty of other counter-evidence in his videos, for those who care to acknowledge it.

> his Twitter feed and YouTube titles suggest otherwise
Superficial examination leads to superficial conclusions. A nuanced view requires a closer look.
Would you like links to 2-3 specific videos where he praises films and series for "diversity done right"? Just click on #TheCriticalDrinker, I've tagged a few over the last few months.

> you're not troubled that he's a fan of Musk
I evaluate people by what they say and do, not who they're associated with. Yes, praising Melon Husk takes him down a few pegs in my estimation, but that's unrelated to whether or not the claim that he's a "bigot" is fair or true.
@strypey it's not. Bigots tend to praise other bigots, and attack anti-fascists. The post -millenial is a fascist rag. People promoting it are likely to be fascist, or at a minimum sympathetic to fascist narratives and actively consuming fascist media.
I also consider it a warning sign whenever a white guy talks about the "right way to do diversity."
Critical drinker promotes the post millennial (unknown fascist.dark money) and daily wire (Ben Shapiro). He's self-evidently in the anti-woke to fash pipeline, and paid well for his role.
Did you have a look at the linked post and read any of Frances Lee's pieces at the link there? Curious to know how you would answer your own question.
> He's self-evidently in the anti-woke to fash pipeline
Based on what "evidence'? Video titles and Xitter posts? Have you considered the possibility he's in a totally different pipeline? Something more like bigot to nuanced critic of crypto-conservative identitarianism?

Let's say I point out that the fast train network in China is much more efficient and cheap to ride than any public transport system in the US. I'm effectively praising the CCP, whose government planned and funded it.
By your 'all fish are trout' logic, that makes me pro-CCP. But that couldn't be further from the truth. I'm an anarchist and I've always been critical of the CCP. After 2 years living in China, even more so. But that doesn't stop me giving credit where it's due.
