Like how some people refuse to admit that Hamas is evil.

So you think RFK Jr is a good candidate?

I could imagine it happening to a Robin.

They have their Canon Event, they become obsessed with avenging it, they end up under the wing of some Batman or other, the villains do the intervention, the Robin blames Batman for allowing them to fight crime so young...

and a decade or so later they put it together that Batman set the whole thing up.

Charlie Brown, you died.

"The True Believer" by Eric Hoffer

The True Believer: Thoughts on the Nature of Mass Movements is a non-fiction book authored by the American social philosopher Eric Hoffer. Published in 1951, it depicts a variety of arguments in terms of applied world history and social psychology to explain why mass movements arise to challenge the status quo.

Hoffer argues that mass movements are broadly interchangeable even when their stated goals or values differ dramatically. This makes sense, in the author's view, given the frequent similarities between them in terms of the psychological influences on its adherents. Thus, many will often flip from one movement to another, Hoffer asserts, and the often shared motivations for participation entail practical effects. Since, whether radical or reactionary, the movements tend to attract the same sort of people in his view, Hoffer describes them as fundamentally using the same tactics including possessing the rhetorical tools. As examples, he often refers to the purported political enemies of communism and fascism as well as the religions of Christianity and Islam.

Successful mass movements need not believe in a god, but they must believe in a devil.

It's just that houses used to have floral wallpaper just like that, but maybe people here are too young to remember.

Nobody describes it as wallpaper? Is wallpaper really so unknown?

uBlock Origin (the good ad blocker) works best on Firefox because Google made it impossible for it to work as well on Chrome, and all browsers based on Chrome inherit that flaw. uBlock Origin is better because the developers don't have an "acceptable ads" program where they let some ads through, like Adblock Plus does.

Also, the developers of Adblock Plus let websites buy their way into the Acceptable Ads program.

The usual standard with apes seems to be sign language, and none of them have been able to use it to the standard of human children once you peel back the wishful thinking of certain researchers. They can learn words, they can use words to get things, but they can't make the jump to grammar.

And leaving the keys in the shot stinks like durian.

Hey, tankie!
