You have not considered what it would mean for you if I am right. You need to. Now.
To those I care about:
That you think I’m crazy is not primarily an insult to me. It makes me feel sad for you.
If you feel insulted in what’s to follow, ask yourself how I must feel, having spent days, weeks, months, or longer trying to convince you to reconnect to your humanity.
And please do not do yourselves or me the favor of pretending, “well, I don’t think you’re crazy, but…”
I don’t care to be lied to. I do not lie to you.
The extent to which it bothers me that you think I’m crazy is the extent to which I have overestimated who we are to one another.
I know you think I’m crazy because if you did not, you would have to admit I might be right. If I am, you would be wrong about most of what you believe when it comes to how the world works and your place in it. That horrifies you.
It should not horrify you because there is still time for you to understand.
I will not try to convince you that by coming to terms with the fact that most of what you know is wrong, the world becomes a far better, more open, more honest, and more exciting place, though it unquestionably does.
I want to focus on the fact that if you examine your mind, you’ll discover that you have not once thought about what it would mean if I am right. You know I’m not stupid, or lazy, or uninformed, or malicious, or dishonest, or mean-spirited, or gullible, don’t you? I know you do.
So you tell yourself instead that I am crazy. But you don’t even go that far, because it seems too extreme. Moral clarity frightens you. You convince yourself, ‘he’s not crazy, but he’s crazy about this’, as if that’s even a coherent thought. You think it makes sense because you mistake passion or focus for insanity. Have you never been passionate about something? Have you never been focused on something?
Can you only know you’re not crazy when certain other people agree? Do you understand that my view of these important issues now shares vast majority support? Your view is now the view outside the mainstream. Your view is shared by everyone who stands to continue benefitting from the mass adoption of the belief you hold and virtually no one else.
The number of people continuing to benefit from the world your position has created is decreasing, ever more rapidly. The number of people being harmed by the world your position allows is increasing. As the harm grows, people reach a personal precipice at which they understand it is the worldview itself creating the harm. At this point, they release their hold on the false reality your worldview espouses.
...more..much more...

Look at me, look at me!
Gobbledygook by a blog pimp.
What does this incoherent rambling have to do with anything?
The author gives no clue as to what he or she is referring to.
So, yes, you are indeed bat$hit crazy.
For someone who claims to not care if people think he/she is crazy, they sure do go on about ‘crazy’.
Oh, I mean the Communists have been running the World since after WWII...
Oh, I mean the Illuminati have been running the World for centuries...
Oh, I mean the Zeta Reticulans have been running the World for millennia...
See, now, this is one of those many, many instances that convince many people that the internet should have never been created. It was great for scientists to communicate — they have rational thoughts. But, this TWOT uses it to fill the world with blithering nonsense.
Go find a tree to argue with. Quit abusing your keyboard.
Blog Pimp Ping.
A whole lot of words without a single indication of where the author stands on anything.
Succintness is a virtue.
It’s from a Q blogger, so of course it’s incoherent rambling and gobbledygook. The person who posted it is a Q follower.
Well that explains it. When you don’t really have anything of value to say, you’re got to fill up your word-quota with something.
My money is still on the Zeta Reticulans and their Gray slaves in cahoots with Nazis on the Moon.
Yes. However, I read the entire text and it is a classic example of how less is more. This man badly needs a good copy editor who will shorten and sharpen his products which would give such documents as this real punch.
I generally see the byline and pass.
If they ‘tightened it up’ it would still say the same old stuff.
I agree. I read the entire thing, considered the audience (progressives), and thought about how I’d fix it.
Then I realized that it would have no impact on anyone, even if it was tightly written.
Well that’s 120 seconds I’ll never get back .

I actually feel sorry for the people who do not comprehend what you wrote here. I feel doubly sorry for the people who think that your message should have been shorter.
I was reading recently that people used to pay to go listen to Mark Twain speak for as much as four hours uninterrupted. Now it seems the majority of people want their wisdom in a Twitter post and if it’s any longer than that they are not interested.
In the last year I have read the entirety of five volumes of Winston Churchill’s book ‘The Second World War’ and Gibbon’s ‘Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire’.
It was like reading twelve books! And well worth it!
So sad those who would want those seminal works edited into a mere pamphlet.
Your post was excellent.
