Calling people "the chimp troupe" with "3 inch brains" is not a good way to communicate your ideas. For sure not to the people you're calling chimps, but also not to anyone else except people who both agree with you and have similar contempt for others as you do.

You can also read it as ironicaly self mocking, as the commentor him or herself is also included in the chimp group.
I thought it was so over the top it transcended condescension and was firmly comedic. Gilfoyle from HBO’s Silicon Valley could’ve written that.
