He's brutal in that he uses absolutes. Some people get hung up on any point because its not absolute. For example, he says, "Her kid will always come first." While that is actually a good point, he overstates the truth by insisting that this is fundamental... that there are no exception. Clearly there are exception... Some people will appreciate that he's pointing out a potential problem, others light their hair on fire with disgust because he's overstated the point.

Interestingly to me is that his rather trolly method is quickly becoming all the rage (pun) in politics. The Left & Right.. AOC & POTUS... they overstate things just enough to bring controversy.. which in turn gets people talking about say "concentration camps" or who's going to pay for a wall.

Clearly, with the exception of Rawknee, ALL of the OT camper lose their sheet like crying babies when ever confronted with a dash of hyperbole. (see what I did thar?)
