    Jackson Hinkle (born September 1999) is an American political commentator and influencer[7] who hosts the web television show The Dive with Jackson Hinkle on Rumble. He is known for his support of Vladimir Putin in the Russo-Ukrainian War,[8][9][10][11] and for his opposition to Israel in the Gaza–Israel conflict.[8][9][12][13] Dubbing himself an “American Conservative Marxist–Leninist”,[14] commentators and journalists have variably described Hinkle as far-right,[13][15] right-wing,[10][16] and conservative.[17][18] Promoting a syncretic mix of conservative and communist ideas, he is a self-described proponent of “MAGA communism”, calling on those who support the working class to ally with the MAGA movement against an alleged globalist threat.[19][20] Initially an environmentalist during his high school years,[21] Hinkle has turned to promoting pro-fossil fuels stances in recent years.[14
