In the summer of 2019, Michael Anton, a then-former assistant to President Trump, reviewed BAM in the Claremont Review of Books.https://archive.ph/qxcA7 The Claremont Institute is neoconservative think tank founded by students of Straussian academic, Harry Jaffa. Anton's review was mostly affable to the book and made very tepid arguments against BAP's fascist ideas. Most of the review was taken up by Anton's astonishment at how well the book was selling on Amazon. Anton noted how seemingly "tapped-in" BAP was with the youth, despite the fact that BAP is a 43-year-old failed intellectual. 
In addition to the favourable review by Anton, Alamariu has a few more ties to Claremont. Harry Jaffa, whose students founded Claremont, was a student under Leo Strauss. Alamariu's dissertation was on Leo Strauss' political philosophy.http://archive.today/8pxur His first live interview was with Jack Murphy (a.k.a. John Goldman).https://web.archive.org/web/20230522195001/https://www.youtube.com/watch?app=desktop&v=xhjenyxAm7Ehttps://archive.ph/D3YAX Jack Murphy was a 2021 Lincoln Fellow for the Claremont Institute.http://archive.today/aBF7E Like Alamariu, Jack Murphy preaches open misogyny under the guise of pick-up artistry and other tired manosphere talking points, like a return to hyper-masculinity. Murphy was outed as a cuckold, who made amateur cuckold porn with his wife.https://archive.is/QtVRr

==Dietary advice==
===Ray Peat===
On his social media accounts, Alamariu attacks vegan and vegetarian diets and promotes an animal-based diet rich in red meat and eggs. He has been described as "peddl[ing] pseudo-Nietzschean lost masculinity myths and meat-centric dietary advice to the extreme right". He has spent years promoting Ray Peat's pseudoscientific dietary advice.https://twitter.com/bronzeagemantis/status/1050859513572659200https://twitter.com/bronzeagemantis/status/1051189210345037824
As an "anti-xenoestrogen activist" he campaigns against foods believed to produce estrogen. However, most of what he says about nutrition does not make sense as he promotes raw dairy which contains estrogen.Naturally Occurring Estrogens in Processed Milk and in Raw Milk (from Gestated Cows) Alamariu is sometimes cited as a raw meat advocate, however, he only consumes raw meat occasionally. Most of the meat dishes he promotes on his social media are cooked such as well done steak, boiled beef and mutton.https://twitter.com/bronzeagemantis/status/1070191098436317184https://twitter.com/bronzeagemantis/status/1248838085883944961https://twitter.com/bronzeagemantis/status/1248838362133389313

A believer in extraterrestrialshttps://twitter.com/bronzeagemantis/status/1162311441803882496, Alamariu has described Peat as a "man of high vision and possibly alien blood".Bronze Age Pervert on Twitter. Archived.
Alamariu visits plenty of restaurants and claims he has become violent if the food is not cooked properly.https://twitter.com/costin_eats/status/1711543236840296745 His recent dietary advice (as of August 2023) on Twitter is telling people to consume Peruvian , Yankee pot roast, , oysters and champagne.https://twitter.com/bronzeagemantis/status/1696996253257576885https://twitter.com/bronzeagemantis/status/1612470929250222081https://twitter.com/bronzeagemantis/status/1712237003142537723 He also promotes lambs brain cooked in butter. However, some of this may be trolling as he has admitted to ordering McDonald's (see below).
===McDonald's===
In August 2023, Alamariu admitted on episode 143 of Caribbean Rhythms that he prefers to order McDonald's cheese-burgers from Uber Eats:
McDonald's Quarter Pounder with cheese contains canola and soybean oil, the cheese also contains soy lecithin.Quarter Pounder®* with Cheese Alamariu criticizes people (especially vegans) for consuming soy and seed oils on his social media, but is clearly ignorant about his own dietary choices. He has described canola and soybean oil as "very damaging".https://archive.ph/KMi9V The fact that he hasn't been transformed into an effeminate liberal by his dietary choices is clearly evidence against his claims regarding the dangers of soy.
===Alcohol===
Alamariu promotes alcohol consumption:
He also prefers to drink alcohol with his evening meal.https://twitter.com/bronzeagemantis/status/1692807940434985379 Alcohol consumption increases estrogren but Alamariu does not mention this.https://academic.oup.com/alcalc/article/35/5/417/206575https://www.breastcancer.org/risk/risk-factors/drinking-alcoholhttps://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/adb.12589
