Thanks! Let's do a full rundown:

Quote
Bronze Age Pervert, also known as BAP,[1] is a pseudonymous far-right Internet personality, associated with the manosphere.
...
BAP advances reactionary ideas influenced by Nietzschean philosophy, promoting the heroic ideals of classical antiquity and denouncing the decadence of modern society. He has a dedicated following in Western right-wing political circles.
...
Alamariu is of Romanian and Jewish descent
...
After the reinstatement of his account by Elon Musk, BAP's Twitter following continued to grow and "restored structure to a movement that commonly refers to itself as the 'authentic' right-wing Twitter."[14]
...
BAP's original Twitter biography stated: "Steppe barbarian. Nationalist, Fascist, Nudist Bodybuilder! Purification of world. Revolt of the damned. Destruction of the cities!"[7]
On Twitter, BAP used a multi-layered style, including post-ironic far-right memes alongside inspirational images of bodybuilders.[16]
...
A number of right of center politicians have been criticized for following or interacting with BAP on Twitter, including former White House speechwriter Darren Beattie,[23] Minnesota State Senator Roger Chamberlain,[24] and US Senate candidate Lauren Witzke.[25] In February 2017, Curtis Yarvin sarcastically claimed to The Atlantic that Bronze Age Pervert was his White House "cutout / cell leader".[26][27] In addition to right wing politicians, the broad group of political influencers, bloggers, and podcasters known as "anti-woke leftists" or "dirtbag leftists" have received criticism in the press for discussing and engaging with BAP and the broader far right on Twitter, most notably Anna Khachiyan of the Red Scare podcast.[28]
...
BAP accuses his accusers of being themselves hopelessly effete, often by way of comparison to imagined forefathers from a more virile, 'bronze' age".[29]
...
we can identify 'BAPism' as a masculinist subculture" and that BAP's influence and essays can be found in and on multiple (web)zines where "masculinist identitarians move feverishly between high theory and jocular memetics, metapolitical musings and geopolitical ambitions."[32]
...
BAP's ideal vision, the eponymous "Bronze Age Mindset",[34] which he defines as "the secret desire…to be worshiped as a god!"[31] and which he calls a state "of complete power and freedom".[34]
...
Bronze Age Mindset gained a cult following in right-wing circles,[36] including staffers of the Trump White House and on Capitol Hill, according to anonymous sources described by Politico and Huffington Post.[19][30] National Review writer Nate Hochman claims that many of his peers who read the book and Anton's review of it ended up interning at the Claremont Institute, and asks, "Why did every junior staffer in the Trump administration read 'Bronze Age Mindset?' There was something there that was clearly attractive to young conservative elites."[37]
