Beehaw's community for socialists, communists, anarchists, and non-authoritarian leftists (this means anti-capitalists) of all stripes. A place for all leftist and labor news and discussion, as long as you're nice about it.
Non-socialists are welcome to come to learn, though it's hard to get to in-depth discussions if the community is constantly fighting over the basics. We ask that non-socialists please be respectful and try not to turn this into a "left vs right" debate forum by asking leading questions or by trying to draw others into a fight.

It doesn't help that he talks nearly in allegory.
It's hard to point at one thing because often what he says is indirect and implied. When you call him out on it, he says "I didn't say that."
Assuming you're actually interested in his rhetorical techniques and not just a Stan trolling, the podcast "Decoding the Gurus" did a few episodes on him. In the first episode, I'd say they even came down with a positive assessment of him! But they talk about his ability to speak in pseudo-profound bullshit and how it shields him from direct criticism like you're asking for.
