I felt that too, especially the manner in which he poked fun at their contradictions. It comes off as dismissive, but I don’t think this is actually the case.
Based on an interview I watched of Citarella, he seeks to understand the teens and their motivations, telling their stories with compassion. Citarella also stated that the right is taking this phenomenon seriously (and using it as a pipeline), so the left should as well.

Panicled aster and late boneset volunteered which pushed out some more.
There’s still plenty of grass closer to my neighbor who treats their lawn. Some I buried in woodchips, the rest I’d like to shade out with edibles and dig out for another rain garden.
Another good reason for killing your lawn is that once you’ve done so, you can turn your yard into a literal classroom in order to study things like plant identification and the ecology of the native habitat that once stood where your house is....
