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.
