Are you really expecting me to know if some muppet using a chimp avatar is “authentic” (whatever this means) to himself? Sure, unlike other people I know what he’s thinking; but I don’t know his biases; it’s perfectly possible that he’s feeding the groupthink not because of what he says, but because of what he doesn’t say.

And more importantly his subjective statements (opinions) don’t fucking matter. Or at least nowhere as much as his descriptive statements, if true or false.
