No he had plenty of time to educate himself but instead doubled and tripled down. Also his username ends in 88 which has been the most unsubtle Nazi dog whistle since the invention of usernames and the internet.
If you look a bit around in this thread, someone linked an article that mentions he was born in 1988.
Where's the 88?

1011000 is binary for 88
Ohhhh. Drag thought it was the ASCII code for X
Isnβt 88 considered extremely lucky in Chinese culture?
You honestly think thatβs what he was going for? Someone who grew up in a culture pretty heavily insulated from that but steeped in βformerβ Nazi ties?
Not only is 88 considered suspicious in his native culture, he was also born in 1988. Normally, yes, be wary of the 88 dog whistle, but without further evidence it looks like a nothing-burger in this case.
I think heβs more likely fascist than a Nazi, given the differentiator being the racial purity part. He lives and works in Switzerland, but was born in Taiwan and educated in the US.
