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.
Right on Axol. At its most basic form, it's a logical fallacy. It suggests that if you're part of a certain group, you're inherently wrong, or if you're part of the other group, you're inherently right. Then comes the virtue signaling "I'm not___, but..." which placates to this lie, this fallacy.
Ideas stand or fail on their own, they have no connection to who believes or disbelieves them. Belief is not a necessary requirement for truth, nor is the inverse. If a Nazi believes 2+2=4 it doesn't make it wrong. If a communist believes real communism has never been tried it doesn't make them right. If a globalist believes MAPs deserve to live it doesn't make them right either.
We are literally in a war of good/truth/logic versus evil/lies/illogic.
