That was exactly my point. These pigs will skim over posts and articles and often the only 'critical thinking' they'll do is for the purpose of determining whether the author is on their side or not . A number of times a year they'll read a book which confirms their pre-conceived notions. But it's all for the purpose of providing themselves with a special knowledge that those who disagree with them don't have. So they'll cite the stupid shit they read not to further the discussion but to make you feel like you're missing something crucial that only they have.
It's all just a way to claim superiority over another. Liberal academics do it for a living. PMC types can pull off the act very well also. But when it's a moron like in the pictured post, they come across as pathetic.
We are all eating from the trashcan of ideology all the time. Stop pretending otherwise is my defense.

Of course they haven't, as they literally think that reading theory is fascism.
