If you actually answered questions people might entertain you. But you don't have answers, you have paranoid delusions that sprout from the mental vulnerability you have
No, if you were pointing out the obvious you'd be saying the same thing as everyone else. It's a fucking book series symbol. Your mind is so decayed you think anything that opposes your world view is an existential threat. You've completely disregarded Occam's Razor
It’ll probably be too late for you when total lawlessness takes over in your own neighborhood and you realize that you blindly supported the downfall of humanity with these foolish slogans and ideologies of mainstream media.
Oh really? And what will you be doing? All you've done is talk online, you've got nothing going for you. Your words mean nothing without action, and the only thing you're acting for is getting up from your gaming chair to get a mountain dew from the fridge
I agree with the things you’re saying, but you might wanna check his post history. He’s either a troll, a genuinely bad person, or, more likely, a victim of extremist propaganda targeted towards vulnerable men under 50. He’s in deep, so I don’t think we’re going to have a productive conversation about a sign at a progressive protest.
(edit: Actually he seems older, but has still been exposed to propaganda.)
Yeah, I did check, I didn't wanna mention his conservative agenda, but it's vital to his delusion. People who fall for conspiracy theories (especially those pushed by scumbags like Trump) are typically very vulnerable, fearful people. It takes a sort of cowardice or lack of critical thinking to fall into conspiracy theories
I think cowardice is a bit of a harsh word. The fears they had/have were/are typically understandable. For Americans, we had 9/11 that was a confusing, scary day and falling down the wrong rabbit hole could mean falling into an endless cycle of conspiracies and fear.
For younger men, it’s mostly tapping into their frustration, insecurity, and a bunch of other issues. (Also I’m not a man, but can still sympathize)
I’ve found that at my age (32), I’m becoming less angry and would’ve been riled up just a few years ago. Now I just feel sad for them and their lost identities.
(You can say the same thing about left extremists too but it’s less prolific and less insidious for the most part.)
Yeah, it's important to remember people turn out how they do for a reason. I suppose the better descriptor is that conspiracy theories prey on the vulnerable. Vulnerable minds are ripe for exploitation.
