Like most hot-take farmers he's evolved past the need for developing a belief system of any sort. He can no longer sense morality and only sees the world in terms of how much "engagement" things will bring him. His unconscious mind seeks out the hottest of takes which occur to him as if they were his true thoughts.

Well, there was the time he used race science to "prove" Eddie Kingston isn't a genuine Latino.

Always remember that the former President was dumber than the dumbest person you've ever met by a wide margin

I think Alfred is one of those dangerously stupid online personalities that just absorb things into their brains and spit them out like it's an original thought.

He gets fed the fast nationals, spits em out with no context or understand of why they're misleading, then disappears into the ether for a day or two. Somebody probably once mentioned Yakub to him and that's floating around in there until he decides to call Claudio "rookie of the year" or once again argue that AEW doesn't have enough black champions.

If Alfred hadn't tweeted, I wouldn't have bothered to refresh myself on Yakub, which means I wouldn't have learned that Farrakhan got really into dianetics and now theres a bunch of NoI scientology auditors

So thank you Alfred

Someone needs to find a clip of Louis Farrakhan ranting about charcuterie.

Alfred is definitely one of those guys who hears a word once and then repeats it in a wrong context because he thinks it makes him look smart. He heard white people being called that once but knows nothing about what it means or where it comes from.

This is probably it, but I want to believe Alfred is a "white people were made in a lab" guy because it's very funny.

My favourite thing Alfred does is directly and indirectly slag off people like Tony Khan on Twitter and then the moment they respond to him he becomes all "Notice me, senpai".

It depends who you ask. They're in that stage where white people are slowly subsuming them because other races have showed up that are more threatening (cf. the Irish in America a hundred years ago)

A lot of white people don't consider Jewish people to be white, but I've talked to quite a few black people who do. I'm too gentile to weigh in on it myself.
