[Agamemnon]

There are some people who reside in conservative circles who think their importance to the cause has a proportional relationship to how miserable they are in their personal lives.

Their cynicism is routinely confused in their minds with their perceived importance of their most recently emoted "snark."

These people are essentially losers and it is a trait that characterizes their thought patterns and basic reasoning.

In a word, they aren't happy unless they are miserable. Psychologically it probably has a classification in some text somewhere as a tendency to live-out their self-defeat.

I'd suspect a good lot of them drink too much and then choose to post to FR.

They don't think they're winning unless they are losing. Conversely unless they are losing in their minds they aren't winning. If they are content or happy there must be something wrong.

They are internally conflicted. I suspect a good many of them are dissemblers.

I call such people "felicitomiserablists"

FReegards!

“Felicitomiserablists” - has a nice ring. Sort of like existentialists?

I think some might be leftists trying to instill and sow defeatism, too.
