    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’d wager individuals who suffered a TBI mid-late in life are an over-represented demographic in the sovcit community.
