This guy is a glorified gym teacher and runs an MLM. It's astounding he's become so popular. Many, many people try the "I state harsh opinions and do stereotypical manly things and stereotypical smart things" including leather jackets, hot chicks, smoking cigars, whisky out of snifter, boxing, chess, living in a foreign country, etc.

Just to state the obvious: I don't like this man or approve of anything he does. Only impressed he's this successful at it. Definitely struck a particular chord.

I don't think he is popular, he appears in popular shows and is shared across youtube/instagram alot

I checked his TikTok profile, he don't get a lot of views

For comparison his instagram seems way more popular:

And similar, it's more views on youtube:

It's more like a youtube superstar at this point

They even picture him as "the new Alex Jones"

Youtube is the root of the evil

It’s really disturbing that TikTok’s algorithms are aggressively promoting misogynistic content like this to young people despite claiming to banning it.
It is an excellent method for destroying a society.
