I learned a very appropriate word from comments in the Huffington Post article:
KARMAgeddon.
And then there's the commentor with the name throwmamafromthetrain.

And a walking proof that education ≠ intelligence.
Those people are the worst , the education argument is just her particular excuse to think she's better than everybody.You can replace it by "Do you know how much I can bench press?" or "Do you know how much money I make a year" and you have the same kind of person.
Btw , I have to say , this is a hell of a beard you're rocking.

Well I got the NYC part right! Seriously if you ever come to NYC, this kind of disgusting behavior is rather commonplace. I also love how she's flaunting her education as if she graduated top of her class from Cambridge.

I wish I could understand her colloquial finesse and could comprehend her rigorous logical arguments, but unfortunately I am only a high school student, while she has graduated from a university, and I am therefore incapable of understanding any arguments she puts forth.

This video was cringey. I regret sitting through that. The commentary wasn't even funny.

Yeah, if anything I would rather have seen a clip of the whole thing, had a little chuckle and moved on. But andersons interruptions and not funny-jokes kind of made it like torture.
