He flatly rejects any philosophy that labels itself as a progressive social movement and believes that white conservatives are the most marginalized group in the United States. His entire status as a journalist is defined by raising outrage over any perceived attack on his fringe alt-right ideology.
But he's not an extremist just because all of that's stupid; it's because his beliefs are so aggressive and deluded that they're unpalatable to the majority of people on his side of the political spectrum. BLF users aren't necessarily a representative sample of conservatives, but I assure you it's not a coincidence that right-wing blocklanders dislike him as much as I do. He's an extremist because his position lies on the outskirts of right-wing thought.

The third one is not even true, the second one is correct, and the first one is correct as well (and for good reason, because virtually all progressive social justice movements today are bullstuff). There is nothing wrong with the first two. Try again.

There's absolutely no way you can be an objective judge of this, since you agree with his politics to begin with.
