That in itself is not bad, it is that in conjunction with bullying others to sustain the facade to yourself that you are cool that is bad. Everyone does it to some extent but people like Elon never grew out of it or did any self-searching to diffuse their need for self-consciously seeking strangers’ approval.

I guess I should add that unlike those with autism they also would pick on kids less popular than them, spread fake rumors to make people pariahs and elevate their own social status comparatively, and call every act of unbridled enthusiasm by anyone “gay” as well.

It’s people uncomfortable in their own skin and always wondering where they are on the social totem pole assuaging their anxieties by pantomiming what they have seen cooler people do, edit: but mainly just by picking on the kids they felt to be weaker (even those with some disability) or mock any sincerity they didn’t feel like they had the social permission to express

You’re telling me fruits and the number 7 are just staples of the gambling industry?

I don’t think the right realizes that this kind of self-conscious, attention-baiting, tryhard stuff gets them easily clocked as losers. They remind me of the uncool guys in middle school who always had their hands in their pockets because they were too afraid of moving them wrong, and would call any expression of unbridled enthusiasm “gay” because they resented not feeling like they had the social permission for similar expression.

“Oh my God can you believe Trump said that a soldier maimed in a US-backed War is worth LESS to American politicians than some billionaire Zionist’s widow who just donates a bunch to campaigns? Outrageous!”

I just remember going to Jordan and seeing a giant picture of the king’s son, a preteen boy, in every building I entered. Can’t imagine what kind of megalomania you develop from seeing shrines to you everywhere you go starting from your childhood.

Gross behavior and also low rizz behavior

These people are nothing, if Kamala had a rally with Bernie where they hugged all these people would shut the fuck up for at least a year.

“You can’t see it, but since this is America, the problem here is debt.  Not credit card debt, though I suspect that’s substantial too, but self-esteem debt.  They’re borrowing against their future accomplishments to feel good about themselves today, hoping they’ll be able to pay it back.”

They are addicted to the feeling of power they get when sneering at something/someone. Whenever they say “clown world” they feel like Jim from the Office staring directly at the camera–as if they are in the know, the most informed ones, the superior ones. That plus the comment sections of these videos give them a rush from both them posting and getting likes, and seeing their existing views get articulated by others–that rush of validation is hard to come by IRL.

They aren’t necessarily miserable in the traditional sense, in the first person, as long as they are not directly doing introspection or evaluating how far detached from everyday people they have made themselves. Usually the craving for these feelings of superiority/validation comes from them trying to mute some deeper insecurity and inadequacy they are avoiding facing up to at all costs.

For instance a lot of judgmental puritanical people are also frightened of the possibility that they can’t hang with the cool crowd and cannot make themselves likable in social settings, so adopting the worldview that those who can are actually just “mainstream,” sheep or forbearers of civilizational collapse enables them to cast themselves as righteous/principled for not participating in the worlds that they’d felt excluded by in the first place.

The harm these people are ultimately doing though is what is known as “self esteem debt,” mentally placing themselves on pedestals they did not earn through any real-world action, and having to retreat to ever more demented circles and echo chambers to sustain the feeling of being on the right side of something–leaving their own self development stagnating, letting their insecurities compound rather than be unpacked.

Al-Queassam Brigades

The opposite, this was how he actually died but some propaganda outlets on Twitter claimed he was “liquidated.”

It’d be funnier if he died from corned beef or dill herring

Yeah, but they couldn’t extract anything because it turned out he was also molding the halva into rods and using them for sounding

Oh yeah it is the greatest example of “if you build it, they will come.” Even the stupidest shit has its fans and devotees, that’s why every once in a while you see an article like 'Why Sucker Punch is an underrated classic."

I don’t know how likely that becomes when the majority of people having kids are in insular communities with heavy media consumption regulation and home schooling
