    Yea I heard the same arguments from people defending Andrew Tate; “he’s got a good message about putting in the work to better yourself”. My response was always that this is basic life stuff you can get from a thousand other people who aren’t sex traffickers. Likewise Gary isn’t the first person to talk about these issues, he isn’t even the thousandth, he’s just the guy who dressed it up with populist messaging and a victim narrative that the elites are trying to silence him.

    He has all the hallmarks of being a grifter like the Weinstein brothers, Jordan Peterson, or Tate. Decoding the Gurus have done a few episodes on him being a weirdo that are fun and informative https://youtu.be/Ttrab7AMn-M

      Yeah because arguing about taxing the rich to prevent kids dying in the streets from tuberculosis is roughly the same thing as human trafficking or defending social darwinism. What the fuck ?..

        The way Gary does it it’s almost identical. Preying on people who are susceptible to populist messaging, you know, the the dumb ones. The kind of people who have kneejerk emotional reactions to surface level ascociations without engaging with the substance of the comparison perhaps? I’d say he’s more like Donald Trump tbh.
