Please give more positive ways to interpret these things he has said:

> So I think it makes no sense whatsoever, as a white citizen of America, to try to help Black citizens anymore

And:

> So if you are wondering how men become cold-blooded killers, it isn’t religion that is doing it. If you put me in that situation, I can say with confidence I would sign up for suicide bomb duty. And I’m not even a believer. Men like hugging better than they like killing. But if you take away my access to hugging, I will probably start killing, just to feel something. I’m designed that way. I’m a normal boy. And I make no apology for it.

I'd particularly love to hear how I should interpret this second one in a manner that isn’t just me being an “intolerant leftist”.

Oh, and this one:

> Learning hypnotism has been my greatest Jedi mind trick to get women to sleep with me.

How are these not “deeply troubling” attitudes towards females and not “reader intolerance”?

Bypassing the accuracy of this statement, it is extra hilarious because his Trump-era snake oil was persuasion. He apparently failed at the thing he valued most.
