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.
Also don't forget, there are a LOT of humans, and that means there are a lot of people in the bottom 0.01% of intelligence
I hate coming across gangstalking people and groups online because it's just sad to see as an outsider and invokes strong feelings of wanting to be helpful but being unable to. Like you said, they reinforce each other in their bubbles so there's no way to get a message through that their problem isn't really what they think it is and they need professional help. And short of somehow magically only allowing helpful people to interact with those thinking they're being gangstalked (technical and logistical impossibility) it becomes another chance for trolls or other sufferers to just encourage more conspiratorial and paranoid thinking.
i’d wager individuals who suffered a TBI mid-late in life are an over-represented demographic in the sovcit community.
