They're not relevant in the slightest IRL.
Anyone want to explain why I see so much shit about patsocs in every online leftist space, all of which is totally divorced from things people actually give a shit about IRL?
It seems there's this trend where some patsocist says something absurd online -> everyone rushes to dunk/criticize/make fun of it -> the patsoc's message gets amplified to the millionth degree. Do content creators not realize that shitting out 500 videos/threads/posts/etc dunking on something that only exists online is only going to amplify it further?
because patsocs are annoying as fuck? but I agree, if people stopped talking about them or dunking on them they'd probably just fade away into irrelevance and join the republican party. I wish people would stop posting those infrared freaks in the dunk tank here because I hate even being reminded of their existence and there's probably some impressionable weirdos here who agree more with the patsocs than the people mocking them
