>>16493296That's actually not correct it's far worse than that. It's not about getting hurt or appearing weak, it's about bait and the weaponization of emotion. The game is "play it cool, give em enough rope to hang themselves, let's get something to work with..." It's all about bad faith to the very core, in all things. It is performative, they want to make a narrative and characterize you to the audience, who will dutifully go along with it. It's basically vicious "fucking destroy everything that isn't me, I am in pain you will be in pain, I am destroyed so everything must be destroyed, the whole world is attacking me!" childhood trauma labyrinth mindset, scaled to an entire society. What that post describes is just the lead in. It was always leading to this.
