This rhetoric is a semantic representation of the extreme cognitive dissonance and mental illness plaguing society.
We have been pigeonholed and divided into fake "factions."
This rhetoric is meant to continue the fracturing and "othering" of society.
By reiterating that you're not part of some amorphous "group" of "others", even IF you're weakly attempting a red pill, you're playing PRECISELY into the divide and conquer mentality of the so-called "elite."
"I'm not a conspiracy theorist but..."
Fuck off.
"I'm not anti-vax but..."
FUCK OFF.
I don't give a FUCK what you're NOT. I care about what you ARE.
Stop distancing yourself from ideas that frighten you. You can express yourself without being lumped into a category of "unmentionables."
If you're worried that other people might call you a conspiracy theorist or an anti-vaxxer, you're doing it wrong.
These are the people who would happily murder you and your family for the "greater good."
Do NOT kowtow to their deranged psychosis.
State your ideas or theories WITHOUT offering these pathetic platitudes.
Believe in yourself and never be afraid to ask questions and suggest theories.
Can we apply this same logic of grouping people to when you refer to "liberals" "libs" "dems" "democrat". Annoys me to no end. No group is a monolith and it reduces you to tribal non logical conclusions. Same goes for everyone on the other side if the spectrum with "conservative" or "Trumpers". I agree with your message but most of this board is not consistent with the logic because they are blinded by partisanship.
