        It’s wild how often the right uses this argument when their incredible gullibility leaves them looking moronic. Like, no, it doesn’t mean anything about society. It means you specifically are dumb and naive and vastly overestimating your own intelligence.

      • Being told that the Bad Thing they were purportedly upset about wasn’t real only made them more upset. Proof that the 23rd largest corporation in America was not in league with the Devil made them defensive and very, very angry.

        Thanks for sharing, I wasn't sure what to expect when I started reading but this is a great essay.

        there’s no such thing as ghosts or vampires or Satanic detergent executives

        These are such wise words.
