Maybe I'm a little late to the party here, but I literally know some orthodox academic Hegelians and they're pretty terrible human beings all things considered. They're libertarian/conservative at all costs, even when it makes them sound ridiculous as if someone has a gun to their heads forcing them to be the opposite of the "Left" (whatever pure evil they mean by that) no matter what. They're completely prudish and traditional or even reactionary when it comes to social mores and art, they strawman every philosopher who isn't Hegel (although they're condescendingly respectful towards Kant, they sort of pet Kant on the head like in pic related) and judge every concept based on how Hegel used it and every philosopher who uses it differently is wrong from the start. They are willing to accept even authors like Jung or Lacan as long as their concepts fit their traditional worldview (archetypes, sexuality as a failure etc.) Also they constantly accept can't-know-nuffin' transcendental arguments when it suits them and constantly claim they're using reason even when shouting irrationally at one another.
