This is perhaps the one valid criticism I've seen, even if I don't agree 100%. I agree with Vaush that at times there's a value to going hard on certain interlocutors, especially when those people are themselves bad faith. The mere optics of being rhetorically body slammed WORKS when it comes to convincing people on the right that their faux intellectual demagogue is completely full of shit.
Yes, at times Vaush has gone overboard on people who, if not certainly, then at least seemingly do not bring it on themselves. But he gets called out on it by his own community, and he has spoken multiple times about his own self-awareness of this fact. He has gotten better over time, is all I really have to say about it in the end.
None of your other criticisms are worth a damn, but this one is at least somewhat fair in my opinion lmao
