I’m a bit of a power user on Twitter. When I hit a nerve with a post, I get attacked by armies of Leftists. Looking at their often freakish profiles, I can only conclude they truly are mentally ill.
Social media provides an ideal platform for creating highly specialized and self-selected subcultures. When the quilters, cat fanciers, antique car buffs, etc. link up, it doesn’t much matter. When the mentally ill do so, it gets toxic fast. They mark their territory and get very hostile when normies show up.
One of the keys is how much time people spend online. There are a lot of people out there who are spending virtually all their waking, non-work hours glued to a screen. And some of them work on a screen as well. Some of them are offended that reality doesn’t conform to the synthetic, wish-fulfillment fantasy they have constructed online.
So basically you hold up a cross and the demons howl with rage?

Mentally ill people do not know they are mentally ill. They think everyone else is mentally ill.
