someone on here once responded to a DFW bait thread (would DFW have been alt-right?) with something along the lines of
>he would have normie social justice political opinions and describe himself as 'woke'
and i think thats really accurate. In contradistinction to your suggestion that
>the /lit/ diagnosis of him as autistic [is] absurd
I'm going to say that he would have been labeled as a cyborg by /r9k/ (pic related).

Basically he was a normalfag with a heightened sense of self-awareness that made him sociopathic. He still got laid but had an intense love/hate relationship with the world and people around him. I'm sure he would have had all the social 'graces' of your average Chad hildawg, belying the fact that his true self was discordant with the views he expressed.

In a word, he was too timid to ever drop (or live up to) this facade (which he might not have recognized as completely inauthentic, or might have held up as an ideal), and he was disgusted by himself for it. That's probably why he abused drugs and eventually an hero'd, and why he was so 'into' Sincerity.

I've never read anything he wrote though (except the David Lynch article), just looked over his wikipedia page and watched some interviews
