The thing I find bizarre about his following is the fact he is a walking contradiction.
The stuff he claims to be angry about is the exact stuff he does. For example: He moaned that his children were in danger as his location was revealed but he then does the same to journalists. Shouldn't he rise above that?
They haven't got a brain cell between them. I said to one of his cult, "he's seeking sanctuary in someone else's country whilst vilifying others for seeking sanctuary in ours". The reply was, "well wouldn't you if you were being persecuted in your own country?"
The irony was completely lost on him. By pushing his point, he was proving mine.
Should be rise above the things you mentioned? Of course, but he's not a serious voice. A dangerous voice, of course, but not a serious voice. He's nothing more than a self-glorified football hooligan, and he can't seem to get out of that mode.
