I liked the first few Alt-Right Playbook videos, but this one goes a step too far for me. It paints conservatives with such a broad brush that it hurts. There's little evidence here - just assertions.
It is also primarily sourced from one controversial book, which seems wholly inadequate if you're going to be making the sort of arguments made in this video.
This reminds me a lot of of "Can You Trust Kurzgesagt Videos?", in which they take down some early videos for basically not being well-enough researched or too provocative. It was possible for Innuendo Studios, which is one person working alone, to make good, focused videos on individual alt-right tactics. But one person alone, trying to define all of conservatism, is just a daunting task that is too large.
see also some of the previous videos as posted on tildes here, here, and here.
edit: oh, i should also include the endnotes video for this one.
