After seeing the philosophical landscape in places like YouTube, I can't help but agree. A large proportion of Philosophy YouTube channels push forward arguments that are completely wild and outside the realm of experience of the normal citizen. Instead of philosophies that match real-life, these positions are instead supported by clever linguistic tricks and sophistry.
Take for example postmodernism, under which there can be no legitimate communication between people, and all arguments are power plays between the speakers. In such conditions it's very easy to foment cynicism and conflict, since without the ability to communicate you will not be able to solve conflicts or grievances.
