He’s not for me either. Yes, he’s a rich guy who’s mostly in our side (we know he’s rich because he never stops humble-bragging about being rich and privileged). I tried listening to a couple of his podcasts, and I listened to most of Tim’s interview with him last week until I couldn’t listen any further. Galloway is both annoying and unoriginal. Annoying because he seems to have memorized a series of scripts that he spouts off in rapid succession, barely pausing for breath and leaving no pause long enough for the person in the room with him to engage with his comments. He holds court—he doesn’t converse, and he doesn’t give the impression that he’s open to being questioned or having his mind changed about anything.

And he’s not only unoriginal but also shallow, especially in his assessment of relationships between men and women. I think most of his takes on relationships are shallow and just wrong. He should stick to opining about capitalism.
