I read the interview, he just seemed confused to me—and presumably embarrassed to read it afterwards. Perhaps he's a contrarian who feels compelled to swim against whatever tide he finds himself swimming in—which now is a tide of (depending on your pov) hysterical liberalism... whereas when he was younger, he was swimming with the wall street sharks, or the Beverly Hill trust fund kids. (An edgelord is a variety of this species — a species which I must, alas, admit that I belong to.) So is seems perfectly possible to me that he doesn't care about politics. He cares about questioning/subverting/insulting the prevailing attitudes/views/behaviours of those people who surround him. He isn't standing on the firm rock of considered opinion, he's just trying to knock other people off their perches.
