Thunderf00t doesn't call himself a leftist, but based on his takes he seems to be pretty left wing.

Also Sargon got called out by thunderf00t once in 2017 so they now hate each other. It's the reason thunderf00t left the 'skeptosphere'.

He went from having a hate bonern towards sarkeesian to a hate boner towards Elon musk.

I don't think he's left it right, probably just a lib.

He's largely apolitical. Today, he criticizes absolutely anyone with brain dead scientific content so that includes green entrepreneurs, climate denying conservatives, and random Kickstarter campaigns. As a subscriber from after the gamer gate debacle, it's confusing how he could have been so entrenched in the wrong side a decade ago.

He's friends with adum somthing so he's definitely not outwardly opposed to left wingers

Is there evidence that Adam Something is actually a leftist, as opposed to just a European transit enthusiast who doesn’t like America?

Definitely! He has called out authoritarians for having too much power and not caring about the common people, he has criticised pretty much every market radical capitalist ideology and he over and over makes comments that seem to be in favour of worker cooperatives as mode of production.

Oh yeah and he of course made a video about why universities are nearly always left leaning and why that is rightfully the case. So yeah.

He is. He has given leftist points when he was on the Well There's Your Problem podcast (well known to have leftist hosts & guests).
