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.

It's gish gallop in video form.

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.

It also is often how conservatives and reactionaries and a couple of libs I know talk.

Like: "No, just cause you did a quip does not mean your argument is valid or my counter point isn't.

Things can be true at the same time and your points are mostly re-iterating things for yourself so you feel seen and heard while your self is destroyed in capitalism since your waking hours are bound to wage work during which you only get the 5 minute and lunch breaks to present your asine opinions."
