I'm willing to suspect that, in his new life as darling of the alt-right, he's flouted #9 quite a bit. I don't know enough about his personal life to review his stances on rules #1-7, 11-12.

Also, I don't think someone who sounds (and to a lesser extent looks) so much like Saul Goodman should be lecturing people about moral rectitude:

The alt-right might like him, because he argues very effectively against PC bullshit.  However, I wouldn't categorize him as alt-right or even as someone who feels any connection to the alt-right.

I didn't necessarily say he was alt-right. I said he was one of their darlings. It's a shockingly wide net, and they have really low standards for who they accept as one of them.

He himself does not particularly like the alt-right, and I do agree with him on this point that the alt-right and the PC-left are fundamentally the same:



But he really hedges his bets about explaining why, exactly, they're bad, and his alt-right fans love him for it.

Really, if you want to look into critiques of PC culture, Kyle Kulinski does a damn good job of doing it and NOBODY mistakes him for a right-winger:
