I assume the toxic communities they are part of just hammer in the idea of how much they suck, but I don't get why the keep going back and doubling down if it makes them feel so shitty about themselves.
It's a weird relationship these guys have with themselves and their "ideology". Is there any way to get through to that kind of dissonance?
