Jackson Hinkle (born September 1999) is an American political commentator and social media influencer,[1][2] who hosts the political web television show The Dive with Jackson Hinkle. He is known for his support of Vladimir Putin in the Russo-Ukrainian War,[3][4][5][6] and for his anti-Israel views in the 2023 Israel–Hamas war.[3][4][7][8] Hinkle has been described as far-right,[2][8][9] right-wing,[5][10] and conservative.[11][12] Hinkle was described in an April 2024 New York Times article as a Stalinist and Maoist.[13] Combining conservative and communist influences, he is a self-described proponent of "MAGA communism", calling on those who support the working class to ally with the MAGA movement.[14] Initially a high school environmentalist,[15] Hinkle later adopted pro-fossil fuels stances.[16] As he campaigned against an alleged globalist threat,[14] his politics shifted to a more conspiratorial tone, while describing himself as an "American Conservative Marxist–Leninist".[16]
Hinkle has a history of spreading misinformation and disinformation,[3][12][8][17] as well as conspiracy theories, according to Bellingcat and others.[9][4][18] This resulted in being banned from a number of social media websites, and has been the subject of several controversies.[9] His show on Twitch was removed for violating misinformation policies and propagating disinformation about the war in Ukraine.[8][16] Following his deplatforming, in November 2023, he was one of the most viral users on X (formerly Twitter),[8] for his posts about the 2023 Israel–Hamas war; some of his which were described to be part of disinformation in the war,[19][8][3] and has been frequently cited by Russian and Iranian state media.[6][18][20][21] He has appeared on Tucker Carlson Tonight, One America News Network,[14] and RT.[8]

Jackson Hinkle, a far-right and pro-Trump social media influencer, has repeatedly spread falsehoods about high-profile global conflicts. He was previously banned from Amazon's Twitch streaming site and the Google-owned video platform YouTube for spreading misinformation about the war in Ukraine, and he has frequently posted about his support of Russia and Vladimir Putin. In August, Bloomberg reported on Hinkle requesting antisemitic, AI-generated images from a tool called Midjourney...... In late October, he made the extraordinary claim that Israel had lied about the Oct. 7 attacks, citing the reporting of Israeli newspaper Haaretz, which swiftly debunked the lie.

By the time he was seventeen, Jackson Hinkle of San Clemente, California, was taking action against plastic waste. He was a surfer, so he knew about the problem of plastic pollution in the ocean. As he learned more about water and the harms being done to it, he discovered that companies that sell bottled waters are draining the local water sources of people around the world. He also learned that some plastic bottles can be a health risk as well as a waste problem.
