Perhaps my post was too subtle.

Definition of Pseudo:

“Perhaps my post was too subtle.”

Not too subtle. Too tame.

Pseudo intellectuals without power can be described as pseudo intellectuals.

But, these pseudo-intellectuals have power and are not harmless, but authentic, arrogant, out-in-the-open, hard-headed authoritarians who think they think and who think they can think for everyone. In other words, scu*bags.
(Please forgive the terminology.)
