Trying to armchair theorycraft why a story about cops being fucking pigs to a minor as suboptimal "agitprop" codes to me as someone who sees themselves as a planner and manipulator, or is trying to portray themselves as 'pragmatic' with regards to signal boosting and spreading stories that serve a narrative, and tells me they have some kind of experience, real or imagined, that leads them to naturally think like this. Maybe they're doing a "how do you do, fellow leftists" thing, and their specific brand of neurodivergence and employment is making them give the game away, or maybe it's just somebody that has been told they're very smart their whole life and has never had that challenged, and never been forced to confront themselves or ever do meaningful self crit - the positioning of making this about its value as propaganda in order to play it down comes off as kinda 5D chess-y to me in a way that's either accidentally sincere or delusional.

The inability to present any kind of thoughtfulness or empathy, the inability to read the room, to not understand why the story was posted and shared, to resist constructive criticism outright and get lost in dumb fights just comes off like exactly the kind of guy that will die on this hill because they're a fool, or because they're trying to stir shit up. Either way he sucks and needs to go to therapy or work on himself.
