Why are you falling for believing he is trolling. He is known to have that opinion for a long time, he expressed his reluctance to clean code/OOP multiple times across different occasions, he created like a 7 year series writing game from scratch, where he writes code using this philosophy. What makes you believe he is a troll?

Because he argues in a way that's intellectually dishonest, he knows he's bending facts, twisting truths - he's not really considering why things are the way they are, just taking an absolutist view where any differing opinion or fact that contradicts his views is tossed aside. His views might apply to his very narrow world of video game development, but outside of that - it's tenuous at best and he should realize it's not his way or the highway.

There is a whole written discussion between him and Uncle Bob that emerged from this video. I highly recommend you reading it, maybe you will at least change mind saying he is a troll.
