It’s like a socio-economic version of Darwinism - not sure about you folks, but I’ve got the popcorn out and am enjoying the show.
People mostly seem to like these but some say I'm making fun of the mentally ill.
Have you ever seen the “gangstalking” people? Those people are mentally ill. Being stupid and gullible and falling for magical thinking isn’t a mental illness. Sure, I guarantee some of the people who love sovcit nonsense have some deficiencies, but I would imagine less than 5% are genuinely mentally ill.
Social media and the echo chambers and selective information bubbles are a powerful force that I don’t think we’ve fully comprehended the scale of quite yet. Maybe after the world dies a heat death and a new evolutionary step in humanity will figure out a way to plug in all the old laptops and boot up the internet and they’ll be the ones that eventually understand it.
i’d wager individuals who suffered a TBI mid-late in life are an over-represented demographic in the sovcit community.
