In a very cringy manner, too. He had me be on the side of that homosexual virgin fed.... that's how bad he was.
I mean, Nick utterly thrashed him. Bilzerian did too, in just the most utterly brute force method. Paraphrasing, but he just said "yes, Jews are fucking evil, read their books and...no, Piers, I will not apologize of feel bad." Piers is so incompetent all he's got is shaming tactics, so he loses to anyone, regardless of position, if they simply won't let themselves be shamed.
Piers is basically playing Russian roulette with a semiauto; if his opponents won't play his game, he shoots himself. Because, if his shaming tactics don't work, he automatically loses, because he looks like an utter fool.
Sometimes I think that the cleavage in politics isn't left vs. right, but honest vs. dishonest and spine vs. spineless.
And principles. It's why, even if I don't agree with them, or I even find them annoying on some issues, I respect some leftists and even socialists. Jimmy Dore, Glenn Greenwald (literal gay Jewish leftist), and the like, are all way left on some economic and cultural issues, but have principles and come from a place of good faith...and are also right about a lot of stuff.
Remember Bret Weinstein, that Bernie-supporting very left-wing professor who objected when students demanded that white people not appear on campus for a Day of Absence. I listened to him for that reason.
Now compare him to schmucks like James Lindsay, alleged based anti-communist conservative. (Insert massive laugh track here.) Yeah, I'll take Bret Weinstein every time, thanks.

Incorrigible boomer.

He looks like one because he is. "Don't you see how that is terrible offensive" is not an argument. Refute it or get out.

Yup. And of course, I disagree on economic issues a lot with the average American. The 'far-right' parties in Europe are far to the left of the Democrats on economic issues. To 95% of Europeans, it's wild that you have 0 mandated PTO days in America, and that there is such a thing as 'sick days' (dekachin told me about it while bragging that he had 10 sick days every year). No judgment, it's just not a way we could live.

I honestly liked James Lindsey. What he did exposing those journals was great. But he's gone incredibly off the rails. As you say, he has abandoned all honesty in his Jihad against the "woke right". Most unforgivable to me was how he supported "Christian" Joel Berry after he came out in favor of killing Christians in Gaza because "they all support Khamas".
There are people on the right who sound like the woke. But they just weaponize it against every critic of Israel.
Most of us did, I think. Then, like many, he exposed himself...very thankfully not literally. Ew.

I was legitimately shocked when I realize the "Christian" Babylon Bee was run by a bunch of Jews. It's just such a weird twist.

The irony is that when we liked him, he was voting for Democrats.

They purport to be evangelicals. At least Berry and Dillon. Little difference between a dispensationalist and a Jew, I know - except that some Jews are decent people.

Hadn't thought if it like that, that is pretty damn funny.
I looked it up just now. At least according to search, Dillion seems to be an Ashkenazi Jew, by his own words.
I might have misremembered or been misinformed about Berry. But, yeah the owner of the Christian site is a Jew.
