Scream intellectual

An 'intellectual' person that comes from the following social categories or vocations: sports, celebrity, revolutionary, entertaining, academic (social science only), media
I called them a scream intellectual because they seem to have outsized political clout compared to their political critical thinking skills and simply make a lot of political noise as a result. A scream intellectual would be someone like Robert DeNiro and Taylor Swift and Al Sharpton.

Intellectual Masturbation

The act of thinking, discussing, and/or philosophizing to no one’s spiritual, mental, or physical benefit, but purely for the sake of one’s own pleasure, intellectual self-satisfaction, and/or pride.

Note: Not all intellectual and philosophical discussion is intellectual masturbation, it only falls under the definition when it doesn’t benefit those in engaged in it, only harms due to wasted time and an artificial satisfaction in one’s self.
I remember when all I would do was engage in intellectual masturbation on Discord. I would use fancy words and blabber all day about philosophy, without actually applying it in any way whatsoever. I just derived pleasure from hearing myself speak about such abstract and complex subjects. What a fool I was.
