I see people here all the time telling people to read theory and shit, so I do

Yeah lots of philosophers are "smart people" because they seem to pen a lot more introspective and interesting ideas than most other writers but basically everything I read always ended in some self circular argument rooted in biases and assumptions that just seems like nonsense that someone came up with to beat back the crushing existential fear they felt as they grew older and just buried it in 1000 page long rants that if you happen think are like the ravings of a madman you just aren't "smart" enough to get it

Seriously, dialectics is a bunch of white gibberish, just masturbating words to sound smart because none of the poors who might have a different perspective and more grounded ideas were born into the right family to be able to have an education to tell you why you are a pedantic insufferable asshole

    Anyone who tried gave up. If he's got good ideas then he fucking sucked so goddamn bad at communicating them. Just go with Marx, Hegel is a navel gazing nerd.
