These are unbelievably nitpicky examples. Lots of people are not native English speakers and don't listen to podcasts all day to know little details like that. To use this as evidence that a whole group of people is retarded is itself retarded.
If anything that shows me that these people get information primarily from reading which is a lot more thoughtful and indicates a deeper engagement with the material than someone who pronounces words correctly but parrots establishment opinion on everything.
What's retarded is going along with COVID lockdowns, or supporting a stupid war or going along with trans men playing women's sports. It's the people unwilling to question main narratives that have the deeper intellectual flaw.

What's also retarded is taking the radical opposite side of main narratives. What's retarded is being unable to understand why people may have other ideas than yours.
What's not retarded is to accept that some people have perfectly reasonable reasons for the choices they make, even if they are different from your choices.

It's not like "mispronounce+error but good thought" vs "stupid ideas but correct pronunciation" are the only combinations around
plus: At what point above did I argue in favor of those retarded things?
