No... he is a self important douchebag that appeals to dumb people who, because of their innate stupidity, think he is smart. He has read a couple of books (without understanding them) and spouts selected passages without context to look intelligent.
To ice the cake he adopts a dismissive, nasal tone when making his proclamations and combines it with a bored affect to underline how tedious it is to have to explain things to simple minded people.
Anyone who went to University during the 60-70s will recognize this type of asshole. They could be found in the cafeteria surround by a bevy of airheads who would hang on their every word.
Shit, I went to college in the 2000s and I knew this exact dude
Probably. I used the 60-70s reference as it related to my own experience. I guess douchebaggery is eternal.
My version of this dude openly told me once, in the hall waiting for a class to end, that if the government collapses the first thing he'd do is get his AK and start rounding up slaves. "The only thing morally wrong with American slavery was that it was a single race" he said.
