The problem is, he can't see what's wrong with the structure of the wall, the conditions of the city or the lands beyond the gate. He hasn't ventured enough away from the gates and is too afraid to let go of the status quo. It is this weakness and not actual malice that leaves people extremely disappointed.
See, this is the one thing I find difficult to believe. Given some of the things he has said in the past, places he's read and how much news he must consume to do what he does, I can't see that there's any way that he doesn't grasp the full scale of things. I think he's fully aware, and just chooses to state otherwise because the most important thing to him is staying firmly off Youtube's ban radar. So much so that he'll spend 20 minutes disavowing and ridiculing any sensible thing he says, just to be sure no one thinks he might agree.
Maybe I'm wrong, but that's the way he seems to me, and I'm not sure how to evaluate that behavior. What I do know is that it's annoying as hell listening to him do it numerous times in a single video, and that's what ultimately got me to unsubscribe from all his channels in the end.
Now that you put it that way you are right and I completely agree, I just forgot how to articulate it properly. That he does see it, and chooses to ignore it for whatever reason he chose. Maybe he does see the rot but he's like "eh I can live with it" even though it's slowly destroying him, or maybe he's just trying to appease the established order just to be left alone.
The fact that he chose to not see or speak the truth is also what turned me off. It's that sort of behaviour that erodes your character, your society and your soul, so that by the time you realise what you've done you're in the cell of a gulag, like Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn, with other well-meaning people, trying to figure out just what it is that you did to deserve this fate. He chose not to speak up about it when he should have, and therefore he paid the price. (As you can see I learned about this from Jordan Peterson.)
