I always found "Simulation Theory" to be a lazy Reddit version of Deism to begin with, but especially these days it's dire just how often undesirables are perceptibly stripped of personhood with that same belief system. It doesn't pass as a joke for me when too many rich creeps like my-hero sermonize about it on the regular and their sycophantic followers feel more like Main Characters by nodding along.

    They were saying the same thing about the Freedom convoy shit right? anakin-padme-2

    They were saying the same thing about the anti-mask "protests" right? anakin-padme-2

    The irony of these right wing grifters turning around and using the same rethoric the libs use against them. Maybe its me but approaching this from simulation theory or whatever is entirely missing the point here.

    Libs call chuds Putler/CCP bots. Chuds call libs NPCs.

    There is nothing deeper than that. Although if you asked me the whole "emotional roller coaster" line is entirely about alpha male grifter shit so there is that.

      It's all about dehumanisation, that's all it is. It's removing the humanity from their enemies so they can justify their own violent thoughts for what they want to do to "the enemy"
