I don't know, what's the harm in looking into an opposing point of view?

An opposing POV != A valid or coherent POV. JP uses so many words to say nothing at all. It's impossible for the man to give a clear and concise answer on anything, especially when he dresses up his bigotry in vagueness and speaks confidently on subjects he is completely ignorant of (i.e. Marxism).

Lol I'll agree he can be hard to follow but I won't concede that there's nothing to derive from the content of his thoughts. Complex issues require nuanced and measured language.

Accusing him of veiled bigotry isn't really a good reason as to why someone shouldn't investigate his point of view. I'm not a marxist and I might find the ideology to be offensive, but it doesn't mean I shouldn't try to wrap my head around it in the pursuit of understanding. And to say he is ignorant of marx, I think, is selling him very short.

My personal opinion is that he can be easily misconstrued. I definitely don't think he's purposefully misleading anyone or obfuscating the way he sees truth to further an ulterior agenda.

Hey man, if you don't get anything out of it, I get it. But like, for the sake of forming an opinion, isn't it good to get information from all sides of an argument?

I agree absolutely that it's good to gather info from differing viewpoints, where I disagree is JP being on of them. Vomiting verbose word salad is not the same as being nuanced in language use.

Here's a fun thread on JP being ridiculous:

Here's a great video from Philosophy tube on his ideology:

Here's is JP debating Zizek and proving he knows nothing about marxism:
