    This is the Blue Qanon conspiracy theory: all true leftists agree with them, leftists who disagree with them don't exist therefore leftists who disagree with them are a conspiracy created by the Kremlin/CCP/MAGA/whatever to subvert the "true" left.

    This is how they cope when actual leftists confront them with their own contradictions and hypocrisy, in order to get rid of the cognitive dissonance they pretend that they are the farthest left and that peoples farther left don't exist, that way they don't have to actually debate with us and can dismiss us as trolls, LLMs or whatever else, and more importantly, that allow them to continue pretending that the contradictions and hypocrisy we point at is not there and to convince themselves that they don't need to reevaluate their politics.

    They are so convinced of this conspiracy theory that they use it unironically to try to "convert" others. But

    it doesn't work very well on peoples who aren't already convinced blue MAGA radlibs, and anyone outside the blue MAGA cult who are starting to be radicalized by the actions of genocide Joe are far more likely to be pushed away from the rad lib crowd by these bozo's rambling about how peoples who disagree with them aren't real than to be convinced by it

    This is my theory about the liberal way of thinking when confronted to peoples to their left. What do you think? Maybe I'll make a dedicated post about this.
