  • They have this quasi-religious cult vibe that makes them like this:

    1. Sacred texts that give answers to everything.
    2. Saints and prophets. I mean - they mostly identify themselves by someone else’s name - e.g. stalinists, trotskyists, maoists etc.
    3. Aggression to outsiders. Building a good sect requires that, it’s how you keep folks inside - just make them hate the outside.

    That’s not a scientific conclusion on my part, rather vibe-based one, and some conspiracy theory communities can also be described in that way. Which also leads to next conclusion - they’re kept in by a sense of community, and since that community is built around fringe and often cringe ideas - it only leads to doubling down on ideas that seem stupid or dangerous or simply not thought through to any sensible person.

    Yeah, but he probably wouldn’t have won the election if he was hated by majority, especially the second time.

    And not to mention all those new wave fashy assholes getting increasingly more popular all over Europe.

    If Vatican caved in and chose that trumpist cardinal as Pope over Leo - I’d probably start believing in Antichrist stuff. 🌚
