Literally can not parse anything he said because he talks too fast and provides you absolutely no time to process any opposition you might have to what he says before saying the next thing. It just comes off as annoying noise.

Part of it is a generational divide, and part of it really is "influencer" culture being deliberately aggressively obnoxious noise.

It comes off as the same behaviour that occurs when I mention the soviet union. You get 5-8 different things about atrocities/genocide/purge/whatever thrown in your face with demands for you to counter/explain all of them all at the same time, and because that would take writing 5000+ words it shuts down conversation.

That's precisely what this is. It's the same fucking thing but in video format. The goal of it is purely to make any response you make too long for anyone to engage with.

Perhaps my least favorite trait in my fellow Americans isn’t their ignorance about history or international affairs. It’s the breathtaking overconfidence they have that whatever historical narratives they’ve absorbed from the culture are absolutely correct and unchallengeable, even if they know you’re someone who has forgotten more about history than they know.

It’s that Protestant American ethos that every ignorant dolt and their mother should have a strong opinion on everything and share it with confidence. Truly no respect at all for expertise or knowledge in this nation, or knowing when to listen and learn
