The "picture of him at an event with a couple LaRouche people like 3 years ago", as Eddie puts it, was Hinkle's speaking gig at the Schiller Institute's Oct. 2022 conference on 'Green Fascism'. He was a headline speaker and wanted to let everyone know.

How Lyndon LaRouche, the Heritage Foundation and the Nazis all contributed to ‘Cultural Marxism’ (and what the Frankfurt School is actually about)
1/🧵
So, back in the 1920s there was a group of academics called the Institute for Social Research at the Goethe University Frankfurt, founded by Prof. Carl Grünberg as the first Marxist research center in Germany. Unfortunately for them, this was during the Weimar Republic…

Quick🧵 on Dugin’s weird obsession with Esoteric Nazism and Hyberborea, since y'all asked
(Recommend catching up with the main thread if you wanna know how he got into the esoteric to begin with)
If you’re read up on the Ukraine war, you might be familiar with this guy, Russian author and philosopher Aleksandr Dugin. I wrote about him a while ago trying to figure out if he was a fascist (short answer: yes).
But did you know he’s also a neonazi cultist?
Not joking. 1/🧵
Important disclaimer: given the current climate around social panics, I’m fully aware accusing a public figure of occultism or nazism sounds exasperating.
So when I say that Dugin was inspired by an esoteric satanic cult to join neonazi movements, I don’t exaggerate.

Reality: Homosexuality was legalised in the RSFSR Penal Code of 1922, then AGAIN in 1926. Worth noting, however, this only applied to RSFSR and the Ukrainian SSR.

If you’ve been keeping up with Ukraine, you might be familiar with this guy, Russian author and philosopher Aleksandr Dugin. Called 'Putin's Brain', many have called him a fascist, tho he and is followers repeatedly deny this.
So what’s his deal? Is Dugin a fascist? 🧵
Some history first; In 1980, Dugin was part of the Yuzhinsky Circle, a group of irreverent hipsters who were into satanism, witchcraft and, funnily enough, esoteric Nazism. Dugin especially loved the Nazi part. Reportedly, everyone from his early years ends up bringing it up.
