Oh I have quite a bit of criticism of the guy that goes beyond that and doesn't even touch the identity politics stuff, but that's the big one for me. I find people who engage in that type of behaviour and don't acknowledge the fact that they're basically out of their element to be pretty dangerous when they command the type of audience he does.
