Oh I mean yeah, his… if you try to take him seriously, you’ll find that he doesn’t exactly have a well evidenced, coherent world view… being extremely charitable here lol.
He makes a massive amount of logical leaps to conclusions that basically just fit into something approximating a narrative that allows him to be a kind of truth messiah.
Some of what he says, yeah, actually touches on real things, but he’s basically British Alex Jones as a mystic… does the same kind of … no actual due diligence, spins things off into a wild conclusion that basically just ‘feels right’ to them, which often involves essentially inventing or fabricating the linkages between ideas and concepts, which do not actually exist in reality… but everything is stated or implied with the same amount of certainty and conviction.
Hell, I remember when they both used to collab often, back in the 00’s back before I realized they were both considerably more wrong than right.
When one is raised in an extremely / fanatically religious environment, one is taught cognitive dissonance, its internalized.
Took me a great deal of effort to fully deconvert myself from that, but starting out raised as basically a religious nutjob makes one very, very prone to conspiricism in trying to understsnd politics and broader society.
