Pretty weak defense imo
He's entertaining perhaps, but he's also a gatekeeper into a downward spiral of scum, it all starts with his main lesson which is teaching people to skim read and then dismiss opponents out of hand. As if mindless scorn were a meaningful response.
It's the antithesis of critical thought.
It's your life and all, but the more you watch him, the angrier and stupider you'll get.
Why not learn, or create something new instead?
Life's short man, let the hateful wallow in their own shit.

It's true there is a bunch of unwatched Tommy Robinson in my feed.
Incidentally I've not watched him much. Just this and maybe half of two other videos, which were considerably less interesting.
I don't think there's any particular risk to my critical faculties, since I don't really agree with much of what I heard. But I'm not prepared to dismiss everything someone says out of hand just because of other things they've said or who they associate with, and that goes equally for this guy as it does for people at the other end like John McDonnell.

Fair enough
Just keep an eye on it. This lot are an extremely effective, well oiled machine when it comes to pushing the harder stuff, and they'll sneak it up on you very gradually.
