      It's literally a psyop so don't let it get to your head too much. That's how they win

        Yeah it gets exhausting trying to rationalize NAFO based on real, human emotions. Since its one of those rare things whose aesthetic, messaging and internal logic is entirely written with ppl like us in mind, but the one and only purpose is to make you mad. It serves basically no other use.

        Best approach is prob to realize its dumb absurdity first, try to stay as far back from it as possible, and see if it still has any effects from a distance or just looks like an embarrassing viral flashmob in a permanent death spiral. If you engage with it, go meta and criticize the overall trend as a psyop instead of the content of certain posts (often intended to lure you into debates over hyperspecific policies and irrelevant history, then hit you with trick questions). Its a start
