The speaker's style is extremely combative, aggressive, and provocative, often expressing "deep indignation and protest." He employs strong emotional and personal attacks, calling opponents "sociopaths," "morons," and the "thief party." The argumentation frequently relies on historical parallels (the Soviet era, the KGB's dream) and vulgar metaphors ("a total mess/screw-up," "prostitution"), prioritizing impact and effect over facts.

The rhetorical style is extremely combative, confrontational, and emotional, frequently employing personal attacks and derogatory terms (e.g., "bungler," "sowing commissioners," "gang of bandits," "esteemed Kaja Siimovna"). The speaker strongly appeals to emotions, stressing the fear of war, Russification, and impoverishment, and contrasts their views, which they align with "common sense" and "real life," against the government’s "statistical fantasy story" and "bureaucratic mumbo-jumbo." The speaker repeatedly violates parliamentary procedure and uses heckling/interruptions to protest the government's "arbitrary rule" and the inadequacy of their answers.
