Bronze Age Mindset
Main article: Bronze Age Pervert

In 2020, Chamberlain drew criticism for following and interacting with Bronze Age Pervert on Twitter, as well as liking tweets about the book Bronze Age Mindset. The book "argues that equality and human rights are unnatural; that most people form a vast, inferior class who will only find ‘solace and meaning’ through ‘submission’ — and that the proper rulers of the world are white men."[5][6]
