So it's fine to be racist and misogynistic so long as you can back it up with academic rigour?
I wouldn't say that and didn't say that.
What I would say is that history presents a lot of rigorous philosophy(/psychology/science) proposed by people who also hold unpleasant social views. However with these big modern names you can get the same grade of shitty view without having to understand basic enquiry or all that wordy stuff and sillygisms. Just be your best lobster in 12 steps. The best of both worlds no doubt.
It seemed a pretty simple, disposable remark to be honest. Which perhaps demonstrates the appeal of these charlatans.
