==Flirting with the alt-right==
Warwick has been sympathetic to the alt-right since 2016, but was apprehensive to consider himself a part of it. In his first appearance on Red Ice TV in September 2016, he claimed he was "sort of on the fringes of the alt-right, I guess".Synchromystic Nature of Pepe/Kek & Occult Meme Magic of the Alt-Right In his final video of 2016, he said he is more than happy with being called alt-lite.2016 In Review: And Predictions for 2017 He has since disowned both titles and refers to himself as a classical liberal (or "minarchist".)https://twitter.com/Styx666Official/status/879003460544475136Read: a fascist pretending he's just really concerned about "government overreach" (read: government doing things he disapproves of).
 
He has been endorsed by noted non-Nazi Richard SpencerStyxhexenhammer666 is back on the Trump Train! and later appeared in one of Spencer's podcasts.Non-Erotic Sex Scandals In January 2018, in a since-deleted tweet, he declared that he would be joining forces with the "further right," as often done by people who definitely aren't Nazis.
Warwick dedicated a video to express his support for literal murderer Varg Vikernes and encouraged his viewers to subscribe to Vikernes's channel.Support for Varg Vikernes (ThuleanPerspective) You know, standard non-Nazi things.
Warwick has long been interested in the Third Reich, just like many people who totally aren't neo-Nazis. For example, he gave a five-star review of Hitler's Mein Kampf, calling Hitler "idiotic" but describing the book as reading like "a drastic corrective manifest for the primary purpose of improving mankind (albeit through somewhat stupid methods)".Tyrell Warner's review of Mein Kampf, GoodReads:"This book is hot garbage. Five stars!" After being called a crypto-fascist for saying "Nazism briefly worked" (on a video about his opposition to Communism),Why I Oppose Communism, Marxism, and All Related Blanket Terms Warwick defended himself in the comments section, arguing that he had spent years attacking corporations and authoritarianism on the left and the right.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YHth6j_WKnE 
===Holocaust "revision"===
Warwick grossly underestimates or outright denies several aspects of the Holocaust.Thoughts on the Holocaust In particular, Warwick doesn't question that the Holocaust took place, but questions what proportion of deaths came through execution instead of famine or disease. This is the standard line from "revisionists" who pretend they aren't deniers and like to pretend they're being persecuted for just asking questions about whether the Holocaust really happened according to the "official story".
He insists that Zyklon B was a mostly harmless delousing agent, and Auschwitz was burning through so much of the stuff mostly trying to keep lice from spreading the typhus epidemic brought about by Allied firebombing.https://twitter.com/classiclib3ral/status/951386159472693249 But even though it is true that most of Zyklon B in Auschwitz was used for delousing,AUSCHWITZ: Technique and Operation of the Gas Chambers this doesn't contradict the fact that it was also used to murder hundreds of thousands of Jews in the gas chambers, because it doesn't take much to kill people with it.Gassing Victims in the Holocaust: Zyklon-B Jewish Virtual Library This is a stock claim by "revisionists" who are unable to deal with the evidence for mass gassings, as if an alternative use of the stuff precluded its use for murder! He does admit that maybe the gas was used for the occasional execution, which is an understatement.Gassing Operations In the same vein, he supposes the "shower" of Auschwitz to have been an actual shower, committing the same mistake. There were plenty of real showers in Auschwitz, but this doesn't contradict the fact that gas chambers were also disguised as showers.Auschwitz
Warwick gave five stars to the obscure book Black Nazis! A Study of Racial Ambivalence in Nazi Germany's Military Establishment:Customer Review by Styxhexenhammer (February 23, 2013 Amazon (archived on June 9, 2017).
As we all know, the Nazis The author of this work, J A Sexton, is semi-antagonistic towards Hitler fans. Sexton has written a book, The Hitler Worship Cult, that is "neither pro-Hitler nor anti-Hitler."https://wordery.com/the-hitler-worship-cult-j-a-sexton-9781533074768The Onion headline that doesn't exist but should: Was Hitler A Bad Guy? Opinions Differ Sexton is an anti-Semitic conspiracy theorist who believes that IsraelWhich did not exist at the time, obviously being used here as a stand-in for "Jews" is more responsible for World War II than Hitler."Why did the Jews force poor Mr. Hitler to start a war?" But he's definitely not an anti-Semite! Weronika Kuzniar, whose works he has read, wrote Albion & Zion United: The Brizi-Jewzi World Menace in which she alleges that Jewish people secretly run the world.Those darned, uh, British…Jew-Nazis! An example:
====How about now?====
The alt-righters that defend Styxhexenhammer666 will say that the clip video where he pushes Holocaust denialism is 13 years old and, therefore, outdated. However, Styxhexenhammer666 still has not really changed his beliefs much about the Holocaust and doubled-down at every chance he had to apologize and learn from the criticism.Evidence (Video by Three Arrows / Another uninformed opinion on the Holocaust)
On Twitter, whenever someone brings up his denialism, he will always blame Buzzfeed, Right Wing Watch and RationalWiki for the criticism while using his good old "Yus, Holocaust is real" comeback as if anyone can't see through that obvious facade or, as a last resort, he calls his detractors "Leftist shills".https://twitter.com/Africanconcrete/status/1034812963499192321
===Anti-immigration===
Warwick previously said America should allow immigrants from all parts of the world (probably when he was still a "progressive").Conspiracy Theories
However, Warwick has since changed his mind and believes America no longer has enough "space" to admit "limitless" numbers of immigrants. He further believes liberty cannot survive unlimited immigration.Open Borders and Limitless Immigration Are Stupid
In particular, Warwick opposes Muslim immigration (because Muslims allegedly have a "vested interest in attacking us")Gary Johnson is Not A Libertarian, And We're Under Attack By Zealots, So I Will Support Donald Trump and supports a Mexico-USA border wall (saying "it'll pay itself off in a decade").Trump's Immigration Proposal Is the Right Plan. I Fully Support It"It's true! Believe me." Indeed, Warwick claims governments are doing too little to keep out "Islamic extremists", although no refugees have carried out fatal terrorist attacks in the US.How many fatal terror attacks have refugees carried out in the US? None.
Although Warwick claims to sympathize with Middle-Eastern refugees, he does not wish to accept them into Western countries. Instead, Warwick states that we should "stop destroying their homelands" and should "restore order" in those regimes,https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rpbHLPVD7s4 which is hardly instantaneous and does little for refugees with currently-destroyed homelands. He believes that the United States (and its allies) should never have involved themselves in Iraq, Syria, Libya, and other countries. In this vein, Warwick has questioned Trump's continuation of drone warfare and attacks on Syrian government forces.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_w7Wf8aVyVo

===Mainstream media===
Warwick urges his viewers to ignore the "corporate media" by not consuming news stories from TV and newspapers.Stop Watching TV News, Stop Reading Newspapers At length, he states that everything from broadcast media is fake:Goodbye "Alright Youtube", Hello "Alright World": War on the Lamestream Media
As we know, the unalterable laws of the universe prevent governments and corporations from paying people to put up YouTube videos.
==Pseudoscience==
===Human origins===
Warwick rejects the notion that the is settled science, and believes it may (or may not) be displaced by some other hominid origin theory, while dismissing the idea that this has any modern racial relevance, as "hominids were not modern man."The Origin of Humanity: Europe or Africa? Patchy Forest, Semiaquatic, Jungle, etc? Warwick believes that races are biologically meaningful, and are the result of partial divergence:
===Climate change===
Warwick believes that climate change is a non-issue and questions if it's anthropogenic.Climate Change is a Non Issue (We're Doomed if It's Man Made)"We're Doomed if It's Man Made"; therefore, it isn't. He supported Donald Trump's decision to leave the , calling the liberal response to that action "propaganda".US Withdraws from Paris Climate Accord: And People Are Gobbling Up the Propaganda
