katie hopkins is playing devil's advocate on the most Base level. i think she feels she is justified because she is saying what most people on TV won't say, but what most people think immediately. She is providing snap judgements, and anyone who won't admit that what she says is usually the same snap judgement you have sometimes, is a liar.

She is exposing the automatic prejudice that we all feel.

She is also, by vocalizing those snap judgements, allowing us to have conversations about the issues without censorship.

I don't believe Katie Hopkins is as base and simple as her opinions often seem, i think she knows full well that they are primitive, simple opinions, and she is just giving voice to them. she is literally playing devil's advocate.

She enjoys the debate, i don't think she honestly believes half the things she said on second thought. she's just making a career from speaking outloud the prejudices that we all have.
