There is perennial controversy over BAP, who he "really is" & what his true intentions are. Those of us who consider him a friend & ally know very well why we support him & find these criticisms & allegations to be meaningless & disingenuous slander. But I'll try to spell it out
Most of us who find BAP either through his podcast or his book have been in the political wilderness for quite some time. We left the mainstream long ago. BAP's ideas and his ethos are not something that one arrives at in just two simple steps from normie world. It's a journey
What we sense in BAP is a profound, well-considered, internally consistent worldview that has obviously developed over a long time. You don't have to agree with everything about it to respect and admire it, since so few ever develop their own thoughts to this degree

Our loyalty is not that followers or disciples but of friends. If this confounds the understanding, too bad for the confused
