He recently did an interview with Piers Morgan and when asked if he considers himself a champion of lonely young white males (presumably his key target demographic...whom he calls "marginalized"), he actually cried during his answer.

“Up yours, woke moralists!” Is so funny. Who talks like that?

THATS what you think is the worst thing he said? I mean come on... Some criticisms presented are completely fair, but offering guidance to a base audience that feels marginalized, regardless of whether or not they represent the majority, is hardly something worthy of criticism.

Assuring young straight white men that they are, in fact, a marginalized and oppressed group in the United States, and that feminists, neo-Marxists and trans people are the cause of their alienation and rage is worthy of criticism.

Correct me if I’m wrong but I don’t think he ever actually said that. If he did, you’re correct that is wrong. But you can be alienated without being oppressed. You can be alienated and not be a minority. I wouldn’t make it into a competition, but there’s nothing wrong with having a different base.

He just puts on a show to fool people is my best guess. Piers Morgan himself is such a twat, can't even imagine how both of them would be together.

He's a grifter. The latest in a long line of snake oil salesmen peddling self-help garbage and who's managed to fool folks into thinking he's an intellectual... a dumb man's idea of a smart man. Incidentally, here's the grandma vid.... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O4KHM-Ibaq4

Yeah, he's off his rocker...or faking it to cultivate some kind of weird edgy authenticity.
