MentalEdge@sopuli.xyz 3 days agoI find it insulting you’d suggest I’d consider any part what that ass has said as even remotely reasonable.
What I said is that if you say 2+2=5 to enough people, you’ll get some who will just go “ok yeah sounds right”. They’re still wrong. Two people being deluded together doesn’t make it any less delusional.

I don’t think you think that and I apologize for any implication. I just don’t understand why other people think he’s cool because he very much is not.

Think of who you thought was cool as an idiot teenager, or in general before you “knew better”.
Now apply this to the less educated part of the population, add a lack of actual male role models to compare to and sprinkle it with a bunch of toxic traditional stereotypes how a man should be and behave.

Carl Sagan. Kevin Mitnick. Douglas Adams. Aaron Barrett. Bob Villa. My chemistry teacher who was nominated for a Webby.
I was kind of a weird kid

Maybe it’s just a generational difference, but when I was a teenager, who I thought was cool was usually just band members of my favourite bands. Since social media wasn’t a thing, there was nothing they were trying to sell us other than CDs, t-shirts, and concert tickets. Even then, there was usually a mental separation between the person and the art, so when the person turned out to be a trash bag, it had very little influence on fans.
