Stupid may not be the right word. I used to listen to his podcast occasionally, and he’s certainly… What’s the right term? “slow witted”?
Like, he seems like he has trouble keeping up. Maybe it’s the weed he’s smoking.
He also doesn’t completely lack introspection, but his introspection seems unbelievably shallow. He’s basically just afraid that other people might judge him not to be manly. He’s scared of not being seen as manly, which is ironically pathetic and weak. But he’s demonstrated it repeatedly.
So, these things together might work to the same end of having him… and I’m going to use maybe the wrong word again… be so stupid that he doesn’t realize how much of a Nazi he’s become. He talks with anybody, and the bad actors he talks to lead him around by the nose, and he lacks the tools to analyze how that has affected him.
Yeah I do think it is partly having guys like Ben Shapiro on that are smart enough to plant ideas in his head. I listened to a lot of those ones and was always annoyed when Shapiro or Owens would say something stupid and he’d be like “thats a good point” or whatever. But he also used to tell them off about climate change.
I don’t think Jordan Peterson or Steven Crowder were smart enough to influence him though. You could tell he thought they were idiots.

So open minded his brain falls out it’s the best take I’ve heard.
