Controversies

Social media
Main article: Bronze Age Pervert

In 2020, Chamberlain drew criticism for following and interacting with Bronze Age Pervert on Twitter, as well as liking tweets about the book Bronze Age Mindset. The book "argues that equality and human rights are unnatural; that most people form a vast, inferior class who will only find ‘solace and meaning’ through ‘submission’—and that the proper rulers of the world are white men."[5][6]

In 2021, Chamberlain drew criticism for liking a tweet by radio host and conspiracy theorist Paul Joseph Watson reading "Retweet if you're pureblood." The Minnesota Reformer wrote, "It’s not clear whether Chamberlain liked the post because he’s into pure bloodlines, or because he’s an anti-vaxxer".[7]
