At the end of the day he's a fragile human being who appears to suffer from moderately bad mental health issues. I'd argue that he is more of a symptom of something going wrong with our society than a cause, even if he does amplify certain undesirable viewpoints.

If he didn't exist some other charlaton would get niche internet celebrity status by making hot takes from a similar perspective.
