What is it with people deifying figures to the point where they can literally be shown in black and white what the person said and they just simply cannot accept that it's wrong? That they have to twist themselves into knots to presume "what they really meant" by something they very clearly and explicitly spelled out?

They put him so high on a pedestal that they don't trust themselves to interpret his words and assume there must be some deeper, more complex meaning to his words than what they're reading.

they'll also allude to vague other texts by him that they've supposedly read that put everything you're quoting into its correct context but will never actually name those texts or quote from them because they don't exist.

The left is overflowing with pseudo-intellectuals like this
