<2022-05-29T07:47:06.000Z> AmericanChampion: lel, no worries
<2022-05-29T07:47:17.000Z> AmericanChampion: I didn't even see it, so your opsec is fine
<2022-06-12T18:56:51.000Z> hazlin: i see you getting a lot of hyperbolic push back, but, I don't understand why it is happening. Who has conditioned these people to have an emotional rejection of critically thinking about the pros and cons of specific activities of resistance?
<2022-06-12T18:59:05.000Z> AmericanChampion: So, long story short, there was a podcast that used to be popular until it switched from reading memes off /pol/ to doing entrapment schemes and whining about Trump all day, at which point everyone stopped listening to it except a few really dumb people who had made it their identity.
<2022-06-12T18:59:43.000Z> hazlin: :O
<2022-06-12T19:00:05.000Z> AmericanChampion: These people also doxed themselves when the podcast hosts asked them to, and now they've got huge sunk cost fallacy. They've permanently fucked up their lives, and they're dependent on an income stream that's essentially gone.
<2022-06-12T19:00:19.000Z> AmericanChampion: So they get really mad, and they're really desperate to entrap other retards.
<2022-06-12T19:00:42.000Z> AmericanChampion: It's probable that a few of the shills are just pudgy FBI employees at a desk or something, though. 
<2022-06-12T19:01:34.000Z> AmericanChampion: In any case, similar deal to Azov / Atomwaffen. Started out as an organic group of well-intentioned edgy people, ended up run by the feds and self-selecting for people that are both very antisocial and very not-smart.
<2022-06-12T19:01:46.000Z> hazlin: Oh! So, they have an emotional need to defend any group operating in a similar manner, because it acts as confirmation of their own choices?
<2022-06-12T19:03:12.000Z> hazlin: So, you say group Y is stupid for doing X, and they feel personally attacked, and hyperbolically defend both Y and X
<2022-06-12T19:10:22.000Z> AmericanChampion: Yeah, essentially.
