But Alex also needs to recognize that what he's describing is an emotionally abusive workplace. Alex is the only real boss at the company, and he's saying on his show that one of his employees is too blackpilled. That's not a conversation or an interesting debate. It's a public scolding that's meant to change Owen's behavior.

This is an emotionally manipulative tactic where Alex is demanding validation in a high-intensity public setting in order to all but ensure that the person responds the way he wants them to. It's like someone proposing to a partner they're not sure will say yes on live TV or at a show. The thinking is that they might say no privately, but if there's the pressure of the crowd, it's more likely they'll say yes. Saying no requires you to publicly humiliate another person, and most people really don't want to do that. It's the same with Alex's tactic.

It's intrusive on the part of a boss.

Shows he cares.
