He's wholly cynical, doesn't believe in a word he's saying as anything other than a signifier of his belonging in his chosen cultural group. Notice he didn't engage with a single point - he skips, evades, misrepresents, anything but actually dig into a point in a way that suggests he has a desire to reach a new understanding.
What he wants is the discussion, to get people to engage with his "reasonable concerns on immigration" etc, which validates populist racism without a hope of converting him, or any of his ilk really.
That many share his tribal views is a problem for sure - but it won't be cured by debating charmless products like Thom, it'll be done by tackling the societal problems that created him.
Dammit
I don't know.
I was hoping it was misunderstanding or disagreement but them joking about wanting immigrants to go home may have invoke the hammer of Velocio.
And maybe rightly so.
