My favorite is when someone asked him "Do you believe in God" and he was caught between his reputation as an "intellectual" and the fact that the apes he grifts are gonna hoot extra loud and fling extra poo if he says no. Recognizing that he was between a rock and a hard place, he gave one of the most amusing non-responses I've ever heard in my life. What he said was, from memory, "That depends on what you mean by 'do', 'you', 'believe' and 'God'." He then blathered on for a minute about how he thinks of God as a symbol for the human capacity for goodness and he believes in that, and no one asked why the symbol for the human capacity for goodness hates trans people and needs money, so everyone left satisfied.
He’s an “intellectual” to idiots and a moron to anyone with some critical thinking capacity
He's the perfect post-modern intellectual, which is rather funny when you consider how anti-postmodernism he is. He's a media image of an intellectual, all big words and expensive suits, but his big words don't really mean anything. The fucking "chaos dragon of feminity" is a hilariously stupid concept that rivals the shit Freud came up with when the cocaine was extra pure, but they eat it up. He and the rest of the so-called "intellectual dark web" provide a thin veneer of logic and rationality to the visceral hate that the alt right runs on, and it makes sense to people who really want and need it to make sense. He gives people the ability to be led around by their emotions and still feel like not only are they not being ruled by fear, but that they're actually on a level above everyone who doesn't accept the "cold hard truth" that we all need to be racist, homophobic, xenophobic and basically terrified all of the time.
I just don't know what he meant when he said "Don't debate with women because they can't think". It's a great big old mystery because he's just so smart and I'm here in my messy room with the feminine dragon of chaos and no one has peed on my face recently.
Can you provide a source for that? My Google fu is failing me
Realising how precarious a pedestal the far right built him would be a rare moment of self awareness. He's B-grade meat to them, so they'd Milo him in a heartbeat.
He knows where his money comes from. He's not stupid, he's evil.
