    Lots of words are tells that the person saying them thinks they're in a movie, being some rando but going on about democracy is a big one

      Honestly I think it's worse, they don't think about themselves as movie stars, they all figure they're temporarily embarassed elder statesmen (including the women and the nonbinaries)

        That's what I mean, but should have clarified: it's like they all think they're in a Hans Zimmer or Aaron Sorkin joint. Temporarily embarassed elder statesmen syndrome for real

          Agree'd and appreciated but I still think is what separates the two is every second dude thinking of himself as John McClane never actually gets into that situation, it is very obviously a fantasy, ever self proclaimed elder statesmen seems to think they sit at the table with the big dawgs

        You, Virgin; temporarily embarrassed elder statesman

        Me, Chad; temporarily embarrassed last person alive on Earth

        And when that happens you all better look out. Because then my ideology will reign supreme as it was always meant to!
