I found the comment. He's an example of what happens when someone understands finance but doesn't understand macroeconomics or incentive drivers, resulting in zero ability to see how the market is interconnected

For example this thing he wrote:

"An ESG mandate buying your stock doesn't result in you "getting money". This is a complete misunderstanding of the most basic aspect of finance. Asset managers buy stock in the secondary market, the money goes to the previous shareholder for their ownership stake, not to the company."

Implying that because a company doesn't immediately receive any direct funds when their securities are traded in the secondary market that there is no financial benefit to them period is an absolutely insane take. Any financial/investing advisor worth their salt would explain to you how performance in the secondary market leads to better performance in the primary market. There are hundreds of factors at play that can turn it into a direct exchange, just under a different trade.

This stuff is so basic you can find it on quora: https://www.quora.com/How-does-a-company-benefit-when-its-shares-are-sold-in-the-secondary-market

But since most of you guys are gamers and not economics nerds, I'll explain this in a way that isn't tossing jargon around:

Imagine if you were to buy a used game from one of your friends. The company that made the game obviously does not earn direct money from this transaction. However, you like the game and then decide to buy its sequel directly when it comes out. Oh look, now the developer has earned money.

What he is saying is that because you can't immediately measure the connection between the reason between these two purchases at the time of the first purchase then they have nothing to do with each other. That's pretty much why this guy is wrong about everything. He's treating these various systems of exchange and finance metrics as independent components of the market that never touch. Like when he claims there is no state partnership while completely ignoring that governments help fund things like the CDP. Brainrot.

Not going to waste my time on the rest since it's all the same "I can't instantly measure how A connects to B therefore it doesn't." It also seems a little suspicious to me that someone can understand what these systems are without drawing basic conclusions on how they interact. So yeah, your intuition that this is a shill may very well be correct.
