He's worth 70m apparently.

Another classic example of how polarised people are and how they project things onto people.
Adam's didn't praise Trump back in the day, he merely analysed his speech and mannerisms and persuasive skills etc (he is educated in this field) and based on this predicted that Trump would win when no one was else predicting that. But because of Trump derangement syndrome, you aren't even allowed to discuss stuff like that or you are instantly branded a Trump supporter. He instantly lost almost all his speaking gigs as a result.
Nuance and rational discussion and analysis in anything is dead.

Sure, but he probably really likes doing his speaking gigs.

Only dead where the outrage Mob holds Power - People still discuss in their homes and places like this Forum. I personally am not afraid of speaking my mind, not in Public either or at my workplace.

On a side note:
Monday Night they poured red color on a Statue of David de Pury in Neuchâtel. The removal of the color of course payed by the taxpayer.
A far relative of de Pury suggests to do more research into his relative instead of tearing down the Statue.
A grave mistake IMHO but this person probably still thinks these people behave rationally and objective.

The statue was placed there 150 years ago in gratitude for de Pury donating all his wealth to his hometown. Wealth of which some part was made with slave trade.
At this point Switzerland was an extremely poor country and it was used for mostly public buildings like a school and a Library.

I wish the slavers of today would be hold to the same standards of the people who profiteered of it 150 years ago. But I guess that would not fit these Marxists worldview.
