You're saying I am ignorant and have too much self confidence.
A disingenuous person is very informed but pretends to be naive.
You're saying I'm the opposite of disingenuous.

I think disingenuous is perfect. You know what you're saying is bull [BLEEP], you just like to argue even if it means you regularly take positions you don't really believe.

No.  I don't say anything I don't believe, though I do sometimes ask questions I already have my own answer to.

The error people like Lucky2Last make is, while they read a lot, they overestimate the importance of what they are reading.
Some random American college professor who adopted an African first and last name in the 1970s wrote some essays on applying Marx's writings to racial issues, and calls it critical race theory, and people like Lucky2Last suppose that this person has influenced every single person who has anything to say about improving the status of black people. Suddenly everything racial is actually Marxist.
