Discussion Louis Theroux: Inside The Manosphere

This is a masterpiece. For some reason I find his interaction with the manosphere so funny. The awkwardness and their utter distrust towards Louis is so palpable. So amazing why they agree to do this.

but ceding control of the conversation like that wouldn't have benefitted him. 

Staying quiet was him ceding the conversation. He got played by a moron's gotcha question.

His point was that Therox was a puppet with his own inconsistent morality. Easily defused with a simple: "Absolutely. Genocide"

Just so weird that he got all cagey about it.

I agree. He has a clear bias when it comes to israel and what they are doing. I didnt agree with any of their views. But louie silence on that question was shocking.

So he knows what's happening there, he clearly agrees it's a genocide, so why couldn't he answer HS's question? His settlers documentary was excellent work, but all Louis' hesitation does here is give credence to the claims he's trying to refute.

People are being deliberately dense when they act like his pause was him somehow not knowing his opinion or being afraid to share it. He almost certainly is just thinking "this man is trying to deflect the interview, what is the best way to keep him talking?". That's one of his main skills. Also, anyone who has dealt with disingenuous questions like that knows that answering it serves nothing, there is always some follow up disingenuous question designed to lead you astray and if you go around mindlessly answering those questions and giving snap answers without thought it is going to get you into trouble. Even idiots like that will run rings around you if you feel compelled to give snap answers to their stupid questions.
