because he has many followers, some of whom may not realise that he's an idiotic, Nazi sympathising, messianic-delusions-having, pseudo-intellectual prick.

'Don't call out Nazis because it encourages more Nazism' and 'he's really not that bad' seems to be the crux of it.
See the last decade's rise of nationalism, exceptionalism, jingoism, isolationism, populism, racism, and actual fascism, for why that approach is complete bollocks.
Fuck Nazis, and if you listen to what he actually tries to say you'd agree that he is that bad.
We are not going to be able to reach radicalised people by pandering to the same irrational fears and delusions pushed upon them by the cunts who exploit them for power and profit. I think we can only show how it's been done to them and let them decide what to do about it. A large part of that is exposing these influential fraudsters.

And what we should really be doing is making sure that these types get as much exposure as possible? Righto then.

Apart from being a famous psychologist with cash rolling in, he might be communicating with people who prefer an authoritarian viewpoint (roughly 30% of the population). I don't know a great deal about his videos.
Cheer yourself up with Alex Jones getting caught out, I did

i'm in agreement with on him against equating questioning of the proposition that "gender is defined entirely by identity choice" as hate speech, that seem to be gaining increasing currency outside of the more loopy sociology departments, and in some other points as well. I try not let my personal feeling about him , that he's deliberately picking provocative positions to build a profile on the right rather than for academically honest reasons, or a prick a la katie hopkins, stop me judging each of his arguments on its merits. but it can be tough with his smug canadian face
