I only talk about authors that I haven't read to anyone that shows the least interest in literature. I told my anarchist neighbor about Dugin and the fourth political ideology. I told my grandma about how nazism was mostly based on Schopenhauer's metaphysics and asthetics and when Hitler visited Nietzsche's sister it was merely an act of courtesy. I've talked about how Hitler's socialism wasn't marxist but spenglerian to her too. I have neither read Dugin, Schopenhauer, Nietzsche or Spengler.

I guess the religious authors like the Muhhamed, Sikh Gurus and Buddhists from atheists who make bad faith arguments against religion rather than have proper discussion. I fucking hate Scientism; assuming it's more rational than religion while operation on moral and philosophical either totally lifted from or equally irrational as those of religions where such assumptions are atleast logically consistent within their own world view.

Checked. I don't find Mr Wash your Cock and Ball torture all that bad, it's just some boomer saying some basic life advice like tell the truth and take pride in your appearance and work, it's not mutch but alot of young men could use his advice, better than listening to Pseuds and lunatics on Korean Clam harvesting forums

All the time. Mainly when people are trying to use their ideology to convince others that something is not worth reading. Generally takes about 30 seconds of research to be able to expose them as morons and get the thread back on topic.

When I was a teenager I used to read some shitty blog called Pharyngula. One day he made a post about how Ayn Rand was evil and that her books shouldn't be in libraries. Now I wasn't particularly interested in Rand either way but that just seemed ridiculous. I wrote a comment saying as much and was shouted (written) at.
