I can agree with a LOT of what he's saying in the video. It's actually one of the reasons that I switched colleges and relocated halfway across the country. It was actually, it IS actually such a big problem that the school I'm enrolled in next semester issued a letter stating that they opposed many of the issues he is bringing up:
https://news.uchicago.edu/sites/default/files/attachments/Dear_Class_of_2020_Students.pdfBut the thing is, he's using the word "Liberal" and it's not liberals that are doing it...the people that he is talking about are going after liberals just as much as they are conservatives.
There is a slogan that they started that the conservatives adapted for use to mock the movement: #liberalsgetthebullettoo
And it's NOT the Democratic Party. There are still plenty of Democrats that aren't on the extreme end of things, that listen to reason, that still advocate for the very things that he originally stated as why he joined the party....
...but there are extremists, and he's right, those extremists are authoritarian and NOT egalitarian as they say they are. And they are the vocal part of the Democratic party at the moment...like the TEA Party was for the GOP.
It's certainly NOT liberals that are the problem...in actuality they are probably the solution.
And it is NOT the Democratic Party that is the problem, but they have a problem in ignoring the extremists and allowing them to hijack the movement.
The problem is the Identitarians and the faux progressives that are demanding total capitulation to every idea and tactic that they decide to back
at that moment. THOSE people are the problem.
And the solution would simply be for the Democratic Party to walk away from them and embrace actual liberals again.
