He's trolling. This is not a scholarly presentation, and with monetization, he's racked up 2,001 views.

This really won’t do and as an academic essay is unscholarly, extraordinarily reductive and in places downright shoddy. There are all manner of very basic conflations here. A lot of the attributions of Bowie’s interests in this or that are unsupported by evidence- your selection of quotations to back up these statements are selective and decontextualised. You quote an interview in playboy that is about the idea of getting the Fascist tendencies swirling at that time over. The liberalism of the 70s had begun to devolve into the narcissism of the me, me ,me culture that has turned into the new- resurgence of the far right we see today. Calling Hitler a rock star, is obviously a joke, but one with a serious meaning, which is to say the idolatry of rock stars echoed the totalitarian fantasies embedded in western culture and myth. You also conflate the character with Bowie himself, which is unacceptable. You can’t on the one hand talk of performativity and then speak of this as if it were a direct reflection of Bowie’s personality. You ignore other more personalized statements by Bowie about socialism. Perhaps you should also study the reception of Bunuel’s Le Chief Andalu and Nietzsche before you dump them into a category of intrinsic Fascism.

If you publish something that is actually "unhelpful" that provokes numerous more helpful responses, then was it unhelpful?
