* gave a Nazi Sigg Heil salute (twice) at a political even, on video. Famously.
* has consistently supported a German political party that re-uses Nazi slogans, minimizes or outright denies the Holocaust, minimizes the criminality of the SS
* frequently and consistently upvotes posts on X echoing white supremacist and Nazi ideology on his social media site
* owns the most popular site for neo-Nazis
To say "is not backed up by any kind of connection to reality" is actually verifiably false. I can't say anything about the other words, but there is evidence for miles that he is sympathetic to Nazi ideology.
