how does anyone watch this dunning-kruger chuckle fuck speed talk about something he knows nothing about, then after receiving a well informed answer pretend he can't understand ideas or concepts longer than 2 sentences?

like how fucking idiotic do you have to be to think you know more about economics than a Yale grad, PhD in Economics, published, multi-decade professor

    The worst case of this was when Wolff debunks his weird definition of Capitalism and gives a description that actually differentiates it from other modes of production, and he is left with no retort but can't take the L so he spends the remaining debate poking fun at Wolff for... giving examples and talking about history?

      It was really frustrating, he repeatedly willfully ignored when Wolff actually defined capitalism or socialism for him and just kept complaining that he gave historical context or wasn't distilling his answers into one short sentence. I think he even says at some point that history is irrelevant.

      Why do people watch Destiny debates again? The whole thing was a colossal waste of time.

        gamers can't do historical materialism because that would require them to be human beings who live in nature
