The latter is remarkable given the many views he had that were atypical of left-wing dogmatic beliefs/propaganda, namely that he believed (besides that the internet has a lot of garbage on it):

    1. Monarch butterfly population has not ever been declining;
    2. No manmade global climate change;
    3. Arctic [sea] ice levels are fine, so-called satellite images be damned;
    4. No decline ever in the world's honeybee population;
    5. No decline ever in the world's bird population;
    6. No decline ever in the world's fish population;
    7. No great island of trash in the Pacific.
