I’ve seen several of his videos before; he puts out good stuff.
But really, this is in line with a long time pattern that’s been observed with the right in the US: they fully embrace an ideology even as they reject the label that accurately describes it.
So they’ll go out and make a big show on being offended at being called racists, xenophobes, misogynists and bigots while at the same time fully embracing those ideas. Its just that for them it shouldn’t be called “racism”; for them its just “the natural order of things” or “the way things should be”.
The same thing goes for fascism. They get so offended if you call them “fascists” or “Nazi-wannabes”, yet they’ve been shouting from the rooftops how Antifa, which stands for “anti-fascists”, are public enemy number one in their eyes. If that’s who they are so vehemently against, it makes it clear who are they for.
Except, those points are not the definition of “facism”…. just because video guy said so does not mean that is the proper description… (also, calm down, I’m not a Trump supporter)

Except, he didn’t say those things were the “definition” of fascism, he said they were “characteristics” of it. He referenced the following list:
