I briefly followed Weinstein on Twitter after the Evergreen College thing, but it became apparent that he was just another right-wing troll. I'm sorry, though not especially surprised, to learn that he's gotten so much worse than that.

I suspect, based on which TESC (the school's name is The Evergreen State College, and it's referred to as either TESC or Evergreen locally, never Evergreen College or Evergreen State) profs (well, emeritus profs now, I suppose) showed support for him during the inital mess, that he started out as an old-school leftist crank and horseshoed his way around.
It's a shame that he went deranged grifter, though I suspect he actually believes a lot of the crap he's pushing.
Same here. I learned about the Evergreen State College incident quite a bit after the fact. Weinstein's account was reasonable, so I decided to listen to his Dark Horse podcast, which by then had been in existence for a while. Immediately I realized that Weinstein was willing to make broad claims about matters beyond the scope of his academic expertise in a completely authoritative manner. That was it. It didn't surprise me that Weinstein went on to greater heights of infamy and madness with the advent of the pandemic.
For some reason, I focus as much on form as I do substance, so I am especially sensitive to the tone of Weinstein's spoken delivery. Weinstein is unbearably snide. His words and tone deliver a one-two punch that communicates his utter disdain for the target of his ire.
Maybe so, I don't know. I unfollowed him on Twitter years ago and have never listened to his podcast. But having started out as a sympathetic follower, I never found anything of value in his social media presence.
yeah, Twitter is typically not his forte', because he does not say things succinctly. What my wife and i found very useful about him is that he carefully lays-out his thought process on his way to his conclusions (this also helps to see where the errors are, but he seems to suddenly become less careful and more impulsive in the areas of ivermectin and COVID vaccine injury). He is definitely a 2004 left-wing Democrat.
HeтАЩs certainly a conspiracy theorist. I donтАЩt know that IтАЩd call him right wing. That coding seems based on institutions being run by the left and he criticizes them (often bullshit criticism) and therefore he must be right wing.

He is solidly left on a lot of issues and lost a ton of subscribers and supporters when he supported Trump's impeachment post J6
