I dunno, it's rooted right in the fascist debate style right? They don't really argue to be :"right" so much as argue to prevent you from PROVING they're wrong. Even to the point of employing absurdity to do so.
Brett Weinstein doesn't actually THINK he reinvented physics. He just thinks you're too stupid to know how to call him on it, and anyone who is smart enough to know how to call him on it won't be able to handle his mad nazi debate skillz.
Honestly, these people are fucking trash.
