He is a good physchologist and an excellent public speaker.
His politics are ridiculous though, especially his conspiracy theory about 'post modern neo marxism'.
He has tapped into something because there is a crisis in millennial masculinity and a lot of people are looking for a message of certainty in confusing times. And yes, some student sjws do some dumb things.
A literal reading of his political positions is very dangerous though. He offers no distinction between the Google hr department, trans activists or the gulag archeopelido. All are 'collectivist' and therefore bad.
He blames the left for creating group identities, which he sees as divisive. Ignoring the fact that theses identities have been created in responses to marginalisation by mainstream society and/or the collective interests of the rich and powerful. To diagnose a problem does not make you the disease.
I have read his book and watched his videos because I like engaging with different ideas. However, I think a lot of people are too uncritical of his political views because they like his self-help advice.
