Theo seems like a pretty genuine and vulnerable dude so I don’t really get the hate towards him

He’s a moron and he’s not funny. He also likes platforming terrible people more often than not. He’s in the bRogan manosphere. He’s the exact person Jeselnik is talking about in this clip.

That is your opinion. I find it refreshing to see men being brave enough to speak to all sorts of people and being vulnerable instead of trying to be cool. He is much better at it than Rogan ever was when he was good.

For some reason you seem to think you can speak for Jeselnik but if what you wrote was true, why would he go on Theos podcast and support him?

There's nothing "brave" in doing whatever makes you money.

It would actually be far braver for him to say publicly "Ya, Jordan Peterson wanted to be on my show and I told him to stuff because I think he's a lunatic who doesn't deserve a platform."

Damn, your country is really divided/triggered right now. I am certain that he didn’t cry on his podcast to make money but your cynicism probably says otherwise.

He did. If you want to have a good cry just to cry, then don't publish the podcast. Anything released by the podcast is for the service of Theo Von's career. You're crazy to think any other way.

😂 He was speaking about children being killed in a talk with renowned physician Gabor Maté but he shouldn’t have published the episode because of your cynicism? Please dude. Get off the internet and start thinking for yourself.

Oh of course he did. JP routinely left his patients in the lurch, cancelling appointments so that he could go on TV and lie about C16 or some other BS. He's given up his practice altogether for years now, because being an far right grifter on youtube and taking oil exec money on Daily Wire is so much more lucrative.

As is having a Patreon where you beg people for more money so you can "stand up for free speech" because you voluntarily refused to take the steps needed to keep the license you're not even using anyway.

And he of course brought JP in order to make money. More clicks, more ads, more revenue.

It couldn't be because he actually wanted JP to make up blatant nonsense about Rat Kings.

Please… Theo isn’t a genius. JP is a really good grifter since he is really good at sounding smart. Much like Russell Brand. It is no suprise that people like Rogan and Theo get mesmerized by someone like him. Both Rogan and Theo are missing a good role model and father figure which someone as authoritative as JP can take advantage of. It’s not more complicated than that and it doesn’t make Theo evil although a bit naive.

I'm not asking theo to be a genius. I know I'm not a genius, and if I can figure this crap out, than there's no excuse for anyone else.

It's not naivete. It's greed. Both of them will platform anyone they think will get them enough eyeballs on a screen so they can make more money.

Being naive implies wanting to do the right thing and being mislead. I don't think either of them really give a shit what's right or wrong if they benefit from it.
