    Debateguys desperate for dads.

    That debate is just such a polar shift in my understanding of his understanding. Before that I had assumed that even if he's a fascist someone with a doctorate whose main enemy is Marxism would have actually read Marx or Marx-inspired academics after him. He's a tenured professor of psychology who has never read about the theory of alienation or Freudian psychoanalysis in action with Debord. My microeconomics professor, probably a Buttigieg voter, has at least read Society of the Spectacle and understood what Marxism is as an analytical tool even if they aren't a Marxist economist. But then he got on the stage and quoted page one of the Communist Manifesto and misunderstood it. It's such crying clown bullshit that I can't imagine taking him seriously. Even before he became the comatose addict who writes self-help books, even before his chaos dragon daughter and him went on an all-meat diet which cured depression, how can someone watch that debate and then see him as anything other than Joe Rogan without DMT. He's big dumb.
