| Comment | This might sound a bit defeatist or negative, but there is seriously no point in me engaging with him. I've witnessed his arguments with other folk that comment on his posts (ranging from calling him a loony to point out contradictions in his logic to simple fact checking) and he just digs deeper and deeper. Calls folk pedophiles, satanists, sheep etc.
I actually feel like it would be actively harmful for me to try to get at him and change his views. He clearly uses them as some sort of fantasy or escape, like outrage porn. Despite the paranoid nature of the stuff he shares, paradoxically I think it provides a psychological comfort to him, gives him a sort of structure he can see the world through and a feeling that he knows more than others and so will be protected if bad things happen to him. Trying to take that away from him just provokes a very hostile reaction. |
