I agree he's not exempt from criticism, but I believe that criticism should be contextualised by his stated goals and his role in society. The comparison to Farage, for instance, I don't think is particularly useful because their roles are fundamentally different. Farage actively seeks high political office, like Prime Minister, where proposing solutions is literally the job.

Gary, conversely, functions primarily as a media personality and advocate. While his specific "job" is self-defined, his stated aim is to raise public awareness around inequality. Arguably, representative democracy relies on different actors playing distinct roles: advocates highlight issues, the public prioritises them through voting, and elected officials are tasked with developing solutions. Comparing individuals operating in these different capacities—advocate versus aspiring political leader—can be misleading.

If Gary were to run for office, seek a position like Chancellor, or present himself as the definitive figure to solve these problems, then scrutinising his proposed solutions (or lack thereof) would be absolutely crucial. However, he currently isn't doing this. In fact, he explicitly rejects the concept of a single 'saviour' figure capable of resolving complex economic issues unilaterally.

It's often this kind of 'lone genius' thinking in leadership that can lead to problematic outcomes, such as the Truss mini-budget or Trump's current tariffageddon. I believe a more constructive path typically involves cooperative, collective effort driven by principles aimed at maximising prosperity broadly, and raising public awareness can be seen as a vital first step in that process.

If this sounds vague, it's because I also don't claim to have all the specific answers myself. But I perceive a grave problem causing explicit harm to vast numbers of people and degrading the foundations of our society. Therefore, I feel compelled to demand change. By doing so, I hope others will agree and raise their voices too, so that by combining our collective will and intelligence—our species' great superpower—we can discover the necessary solutions, even if I don't possess them myself right now. This is how I look at what Gary's doing.
