There's a weird trend going around lately. If you don't agree with the so-called "common opinion" of the "trending users" here you're basically told to just shut up — that's the vibe you keep getting. And this is coming from people who are into the wildest, most baseless conspiracy theories themselves, often from the MAGA crowd. Ironically, it's the same folks who pride themselves on loving freedom and being all about "no censorship". It's got this cult-like vibe, kind of like in Leonardo DiCaprio’s movie "The Beach" — the same type of know-it-all, arrogant people in the 25-35 age range. The parallels are pretty obvious, and we all know how that ended.

The whole tribe of freedom-chasing sun worshippers fell apart once it turned out their sense of unity was just for show. In the end, they all came crawling back to the comfort of the old, familiar world.

I think it is about hope. People will blindly follow any cult leader if he offers them hope. This applies in all spheres of life, not just in politics and Bitcoin circles.

Insightful. However, a false hope based on double standards will not keep a group together and coordnated. It devolves into an anticult. Not much of a shift is needed, we have to tools to put together something that gives real hope. An open agentic future to return agency to those who opt-in.

Indeed. A lie can never be sustained. Truthful hope is perhaps more an exciting plan than vague platitude.

Just mute them and move on. I've got more important stuff than check the "trending" gossip anyway.

That seems totally out of character for a group that doesn't really even need to say anything other than let people watch the outcome.

They are probably new MAGA, sort of like the FNG (Fucking New Guy) at work that just came to realization, runs around thinking they know everything, and telling everyone about it.

Yeah I realized that too, it’s like critical thinking goes out the window when it comes to this fringe ideas. It starts from a good place, then your wondering where did it go off the rails lol
