The Sweden Democrats are a right-wing, anti-immigration party whose spokespeople have over the years said some questionable things on the subjects of ethnicity and national identity.

The blogger was once a part of Piratbyrån which had close ties to The Pirate Bay[1]. He has long since distanced himself from the site. I suspect he doesn't want to support the site or the mentioned Youtuber (Angry Foreigner) by linking to them. Also keep in mind that this is a transcription of a presentation (split in two blog posts).
Essentially, the author conflates changes in the homepage of (one version of) TPB with a broader migration of "former libertarians" to "national populists".
I'm not sure what method he's using to confirm their past character, nor how wide spread this actually might be, nor what his warrant from the evidence to the conclusion is.

If you or anyone is interested in making stronger arguments (than this example), I can recommend this course very highly: https://www.thegreatcourses.com/courses/the-art-of-debate.ht...
