  • It’s not about it working. It’s about creating a narrative in their own head where they are the victim even if it’s a complete fabrication. Then they can pin all their recent troubles on something that isn’t their fault. “That asshole gave me a thumbs up, then went back on it! I needed that thing for success, and he’s the reason that didn’t happen.”

















  • That’s like saying a prosecutor should also present the defense. It’s not their job. That’s yours. You need to judge how accurate the information is and find ways to verify it. Qs blindly accept any information their side presents without any attempt to critically assess its validity. They also ignore contrary information with similar effort. It’s what makes them so dangerous. A bad actor on “their side” can manipulate them simply by speaking. A good actor on the “other side” could be 100% factual with ample sourcing and citing and will never convince them of the truth.
