This guy is a pretty hopeless liberal. While he's absolutely obsessed with a certain brand of conservative—and particularly how they behave on the Internet and other public patforms—he identifies himself as part of the status quo of the Democratic Party (you can see this all the time when he uses the word "we"). In particular, he attributes a lot of shit to Democrats without introspection, like assuming they are always honest and well-intentioned.
Like, how would he tell you Democrats are behaving about the concentration camps literally being run within the U.S., now under the direct control of the Democratic administration of Joe "Take Back The Streets" Biden? Would he take a moment of thought and then eat his hat and acknowledge that they're pulling exactly the same behavior that he's describing here for Republicans? The militarization of the police? The continued warmongering, and support of fascists abroad (e.g. Israel)?
This is not leftist material. It's just a part of fearmongering about Republicans in order to get people to accept and wholeheartedly support the fascists under the other brand name of the U.S. uniparty, and never look a single millimeter beyond. Get this shit off BreadTube. Seriously. We can do MUCH better.
A friend recommended this to me, a few years back.
It was incredibly annoying to hear this guy either making blanket statements about the alt-rights intentions, strawmanning, mind-reading or just outright infer correlations because it seems obvious to him.
Some of it is evidently true, but a lot of the rationality and evidence leading to those facts is not sufficient enough for me to accept his claims.
Here is his master list of research.
Yeah. He does a lot of THEY do this; "WE" absolutely do not, with quite the definition of "we". As you say, a lot of the first part of that is pretty self-evident—so self-evident that lecturing people about it in a video seems rather patronizing, and perhaps even in the masturbatory "look how great we are for repeating this shit about THEM every other sentence," range of MSNBC-style content. Whereas the second part of it serves to obfuscate the sewage that comes out of liberal politics outside of the explicit, alt-right, clown world aesthetic sphere.
