This is a great debate between two up-and-comers, both of whom are very influential and at pivot points in the Western "culture war". Topics include political dissent, censorship, Nationalism, global rivalry, China versus USA, the failures of both political systems, and the nature of Ethno-National Pride of the 'Chicoms'.
I agree with Fuentes on the point that Styx is naive with regard to Globalist infiltration and control of the US Establishment. I doubt "change from within" that Styx proposes, with regard to the trends already proved over the past decade. To me, it's "too little, too late", USA is already structurally fractured in two. Civil War is inevitable. This is due to the Globalist leverage and their wider agenda, outside the US, which US cannot contend with or against.
I agree with Styx on the point that Fuentes would be in no better position as a dissident under Chicom institutions. The CCP is not an alternative to play power against the larger structures. Russia would be the more sensible choice for Anti-Establishment dissenters. However, again, USA is pretty much fucked. Any "American Patriotism" is beset on all sides. No release or slack will occur until the US Establishment collapses further, which it inevitably will. Because a house divided, cannot stand.

Gladwell says (((News))) isn't trustworthy until it's filled with blacks and women, preferably transexual drag pedos too... repulsive.
So under his reasoning, if CNN is owned and run by a black drag MTF lesbian pedophile, then it will be the most trustworthy source ever in recorded history.
Marxism...never even once.
It's a good thing a liberal-leftist-marxist feels brave enough to argue and speak his mind publicly. I like these exposés. I will commend Gladwell on that fact; at least he is brave enough to argue unlike most the rest of his kind.

Americanized News is part of entertainment - a subsidiary of Hollywood. Those that make it before the screen - like movie and pop idols, icons - are vetted over years by middle-managment on their loyalties, their political views, their morals and their sexual hang-ups. A "reporter" is the mouthpiece of the news cororation he serves. They read the script...like movie stars.....some of them get to write the scripts....the majority are performers.
Most are genitally mutilated...or good-goys.

Every empire wants to dominate. The issue is what form this domination takes.
Americanism = Globalism. It imposes its nihilistic model as the only acceptable model. It is messianic, imposing tis will using economic coercion or seductive methods, such as propaganda, appealing to the lowest-common-denominator, appealing to the world's victims of natural or social selection pressures. So, far China is not imposing its social system on anyone. Will it in the future? Nobody knows. If it does it will contradict its current multipolarity policies.
But it may use another method of dominance, just like Americanism took over the British Empire by applying a different method of colonialism. Americanized minds desperately want to accuse Chicoms, because the truth is too embarrassing to accept, and because if they do accept it this places the responsibility of what is occurring in the US squarely on their shoulders. These American apologists are now emerging to cope with the realization of what Americanism was for nearly a century of its dominance. the idea that the US has always been the enemy is a fact they just cannot accept, because of what it implies about them and their judgements. Denial of free-will has a lot to do with this, as well.
