Sentence: ''Why do unbearable 'internet Goebbels' expect other people to agree with their leanings ?''
Question: Does the word 'expect' need to have 's' at its end? Should it be 'expects' instead of 'expect' ?
Thanks
No. It's "Why do these people expect ...?"

Context is always important; labelling is rarely important.
Then don't, but it will be incorrect English unless 'Goebels' is plural, in which case it shouuld probably be 'Goebbelses',
You can't use a countable proper noun in the same way as you use an uncountable noun. In either case, the auxiliary verb should be 'does' not 'do', unless you are intending 'Goebbels' to be plural.TheDdysphemism 'Goebbels' has been used intentionally by me for the word propaganda.![]()
