On Wednesday, <a href="https://www.vanityfair.com/news/2018/05/how-kanye-west-was-red-pilled-by-the-far-right">Vanity Fair</a> ran a long piece by columnist Tina Nguyen about the supposed seduction of Kanye West into the &#8220;far right.&#8221; The evidence for this contention: Kanye retweeted Ali Akhbar and Candace Owens. But West also is a &#8220;fan of Jordan Peterson,&#8221; whom she describes as a sort of pied piper and &#8220;gateway drug&#8221; for the &#8220;far right.&#8221; This, in and of itself, should have let Nguyen know that she was barking up the wrong tree &#8212; Peterson is an outspoken opponent of identity politics and the alt-right, and is hardly a &#8220;far right&#8221; conservative. But never let facts get in the way of a good story.
Nguyen writes that &#8220;The red-pilling of Kanye West marks a turning point for the conservative-media universe, which has undergone a revolution in the months and years since Trumpism took over American politics.&#8221; Using the term &#8220;red-pilling&#8221; to describe West is deliberate; it&#8217;s a term frequently used by the alt-right, and meant to suggest such associations. And indeed, Nguyen then draws associations between characters and movements that have no such association. She writes:
