THERE IS NICE CONTENT I FOUND ABOUT Pseudo- intellectuals
definition of a pseudo intellectual, or pseudo is people who try to sound smart by forcing words and concepts into their vocabulary that wouldn't otherwise be there. One of those types who dresses to "shock", they mostly wear black, beige or gray, and grow their hair and sport awful hair styles and invariably wear spectacles. They are known for bitching endlessly about how awfully lonely their lives are and how everyone that walks the earth is out to get them.
Men do this because they fear women will stereotype them as stupid if they don't talk about feminism, politics or some other such boring topic that nobody really gives a damn about … But if they weren't brought up with this super-model mentality, then maybe they'd give a rat's a$$ about something outside of their microcosmic universe and stop buying into all the latest trends just to be able to check out the pretty sales girl’s t!ts n a$$.

Who really cares about these bullshitters ??? I swear, they'll do anything just to add another word to their vocabulary that possibly ends with an "ism". The good thing about these jacka$$es is that you can pick them out easily because they'll always be too busy trying to remember all their stupid definitions to make any sense when they're talking, which is usually the problem (that they're talking).
There was a time I used to think they were kinda cool. Probably because I didn't really know a real pseudo from within. Until recently…when i though on this topic.

They honestly believe that the successful and popular people do nothing but make fun of them. They honestly believe that everyone is out to harm them or find faults with them. And they love this !!! They love the idea that they're "being persecuted".
One of the reasons pseudos hate successful and popular people so much, is the mentality that they recognize as more original than their own. Even though pseudos would adamantly continue to wear a damn expression, that’d read : *Conform to non-conformity !!!* There is no skill or talent to be found within pseudos. A retard could do a better job in five seconds flat without any inspiration. Worst of all, the pseudo “always” thinks that they have somehow benefited the world by sharing their "original" views on life.

Get over your f**king selves. That's the message of this whole blog. Wake up and realize no one cares.
If you don't like this blog, I suggest you exercise your rights and write a counter-blog about how I suck, rather than take your usual approach and piss and moan.

there are some tips to join the class of pseudo intellectual
1) Regardless of the issue - make sure you bring up your views on abortion, capital punishment, religion, and the political party you least like, regularly. Make sure your use the terms "wrong", "evil", "sinful" and "false" in describing views that differ from your particular beliefs. Try to work in the terms "blinded" or "deluded".

2) Depending on YOUR orientation refer to your opponents in arguments (or debates that hold the promise of becoming arguments) as fascists or communists as often as possible. Suggest that their views parallel those held in Nazi Germany or of Stalinist USSR at least once.

3) Point out the shortcomings of the opposite gender. Using tasteless jokes that you ascribe to others is a favorite ploy. If your opponent is of the same sex - cast doubt on their sexual orientation.

4) When you've managed to get a good heated exchange going try to score points by using a word that will drive your opponent to the dictionary. Mock any attempts on their part to do the same. If possible humiliate them and react to attacks on your arguments with ironic references to misspellings, ill-conceived sentence construction, or inappropriate word usage.

5) If you make an error, never apologize. Blame it on a technical difficulty or on your opponent's mischaracterization of your argument.

6) When inspired, make sure you word your attacks and counterattacks so that you leave no opening for your adversary to capitulate to your view except in disgrace. Try to make certain that every avenue of response is a path of shame. Phrases like "only a idiot or a scumbag would argue that ..." are very helpful.

7) If you start to slip in an argument attack the person. It's most helpful to know something personal about them so that your ad hominems point out both academic/professional defects and their deficiencies as a human.

8) If someone levels an attack upon you, respond that in their reliance on ad hominem attacks the argument has deteriorated to a level that no longer warrants your participation. This can be a winning blow if played properly. Be subtle here, and clever; try to convey the sense of your opponent as dim-witted, ethically degenerate, desperate, and out maneuvered by your overwhelming intellectual superiority. The real joy here is that you can neatly do away with any respect due your opponent, slander his character, lacerate his pride, and, if done properly and with élan, simultaneously represent yourself as a man or woman whose ethics and moral sensitivity make it impossible for you to do what you just did. This one is a real gem -- and when executed gracefully - really an art form.

8) When you face a loss, construct a "straw man" argument either by taking your opponents words out of context or by changing the issue. Never lose - change the issue. If your opponent has the facts on their side, argue that facts don't constitute scholarship and understanding, and might even be a sign that one has not yet come to the level of understanding at all. Claim that computers store facts and that real scholarship is the sign of being able to understand and seeing the deeper connections.

9) Remember that you are always right. No matter what forces are marshaled against you, no matter how reasonable, humble, or generous, don't give an inch, don't be swayed. You are always right. It's the other side that caused this ruckus and keeps it going.

10) Always insist on the last word. The only honorable finish is unconditional capitulation by your adversaries or their defeated silence.

MORAL of the Blog… There are people out there worse off than you, morons. You are not any better than the rest of us. So stop bitching and get a life. Thank you.
