    It was worth watching all the way through just to learn the term "lumpenintelligentsia". I'm adding that to both my vocabulary and my spellchecker.

      It's fascinating and I'm still listening because it's clear Haz has read the works he claims to be inspired by, yet he distorts them and when pressed on his bigotry he says shit like "oh well there's a trans person in the Republican party so actually they aren't oppressed and all of them are therefore reactionary".

        It sounds a lot like he read all the works and cultivated his own brainworms instead of going with the commonly accepted interpretations. I bet twenty bucks he's an autodidact.

          Yeah, you can tell he's never actually discussed these works with another human because in all of his debates, but this one especially, he can't actually adapt or interact with the other person's points. He just keeps either being vague, repeats, or spins off to a slightly related topic.

            That's the deal with autodidacts, 1% of them go on to become great, original thinkers and the rest are pricks who come up with original ideas that are just awful and there was nobody around to instruct them which ideas were awful and which ones were good.

              Still trying to figure out which one of these I am but trying to be the former lol.

              I dropped out of every single level of US education. Yes even kindergarten.

              I think the pricks are just the ones you hear about. most autodidacts go on to be normal people.
