    The fucking ruling class talks about it now, because it's that convenient for cruelty and eugenics/genocide purposes to label people as less than human. Same as it ever was. :my-hero: :solidarity: :scared-fash:

    It's easy to ignore a dissenting view if you can characterise it as a serious of weak, stock responses instead of another person's beliefs.

    The dehumanisation of your ideological opponent is just a side benefit.

    The NPC meme is the "if everyone is an asshole, it's probably just you" thing but told from the asshole's perspective.

    It really struck a nerve and did a great job in describing the idiot masses of people who never think. They just support the current thing because they're told to do so and thinking never entered that mass of ganglia they call a brain. It is like talking to an NPC in a video game - stock responses you can predict before ever engaging with them.

      Chuds say that, pretty much verbatim, about leftists. The belief that one's own thoughts are original and novel and other people's thoughts are definitively thoughtless is solipsism.

        It is the current highest form of hyperindividualism, the physical incarnation of Descartes' demon upon the minds of man. It is the egotism of idealism's head stuffed so far up its own ass it's created an oroboros in that is trapped inside its own mind by its own mind.

          It's amazing that :my-hero: is such a solipsistic narcissist that he truly thinks he's the main character, perhaps the only conscious being, in the entire "simulation."

      The funny thing about the NPC meme is how much it was literally projection, something 2x as powerful with a simple "no u".

      A man living in the glass house he was told to live in throwing rocks at the minorities he was told to throw rocks at.
