Can someone explain to me what this guy is/was about and if he's changed? I haven't followed him very closely, but I don't remember him being a complete and utter retard until recently. Starting out he seemed pretty reasonable if milquetoast: Opposing compelled speech wrt tranny pronouns, wrecking Cathy Newman in that interview, etc. But he's also some cock carousel rider's betabux and raised a whore daughter who fucked Andrew Tate. He succumbed to a benzo addiction at some point, and now he posts stupid tradcuck shit all the time. Am I missing something?

Have similar thoughts about him: a useful guide for a portion of my journey I've since moved beyond.
He's not a "leader" and anyone who thinks of him as such will be disappointed. But as a as a reasonably intelligent person who thinks some hetrodox things he can be useful for someone coming into this thing to say "hey this guy who's obviously pretty smart also thinks this thing is stupid; maybe I'm not crazy".
See also: Scott Alexander.
Which is still pretty damned useful: how many people here began their journey by asking "if they're lying about this inconsequential obvious thing, what else are they lying about?" That line of questioning is as much a snowball rolling down a hill as progressivism itself is.
And I think the other side realizes this, which is why they'll treat a Jordan Peterson or Scott Alexander the same as they do a Jared Taylor.
