Is it insufferable because you disagree or because you think this shouldn't be a space he has a right to discuss?

I don't know mate, if you cannot ignore it, which I find it pretty easy to personally, then maybe this isn't a Derek Guy issue.

No, funnily enough, I do agree with some of that. It is still insufferable because he is using his authority and social media clout in one sphere (fashion, which I used to respect him for, and which he had earned) as a cover to air his political opinions (where he is no different from the next person).

These swipes aren't necessary. This trick of trying to make me look like the bad guy isn't going to work. As for ignoring him, yes, I did. I unfollowed him because it was clear he was no longer a reliable authority on fashion for me.
