TLDR: Hobo Johnson did a musical rendition of some select quotes from the article. If the article is too cumbersome to read, listen to the song. It gets a lot of the point across.

    So is everyone.

    Saying “he’s just another dude” as if his opinions on politics don’t matter is that same as saying your opinion (or my opinion) doesn’t matter. Its saying only politicians opinions matter, which is about the polar opposite of reality.

      To be fair, there’s a chance that some random Lemming is more studied on leftist teachings than Einstein.

        The phrase “studied on leftist teachings,” as if it’s some kind of religion or cultist ideology, undercuts your claim.

        The ability to entertain an idea without adopting it, intelligence, curiosity, and knowledge are inimical to ideological purity.

          Wut.

          I hope most of us are studied on fascism and aren’t fascists. It just means you’ve studied it.
