Rich coming from a guy who owes his entire career to writers. I hate this smug piece of shit
Wine cave warriors in my area do cite him sometimes as some kind of primary source for their own smugness and even include "he must be right because both sides hate him" takes.
That both sidsing shit is the most frustrating thing ever. My friends like that. Big JP, Ben Shapiro, Russel Brand type guy.

Knowing full well I'm an anarchist too lol, like bruh. Yeah it's both sides (sometimes) but you're being disingenuous and completely missing the point.
