I'm extremely impressed by the simping mindset. The last years have shown that powerful men can do and say whatever they want. As long as their simps feel aligned on a more abstract level, it literally doesn't matter how blatantly stupid or immoral they are.
True for politicians, CEOs, and bitcoiners. There will always be an endless supply of NPC apologists. The rationalizing mind is as flexible as a yoga guru.

Grateful to have witnessed it because the extent to which this is true would be hard to have believed just by reading books. Full simp abundance
You are just too polite
Unfortunately, in a chaotic time period where technology is ravaging shared belief systems (religion, gov, money, etc) many people abandon these ideals and look for perceived strength & intellect to soothe their need for order.
We strive to be stay limber 🧘
💯 and Bitcoiners are not immune from simping for politicians.
>The last few years...
That's actually all of human history.
The internet makes it so much more obvious
Zap test on this note… we made six attempts to⚡zap this note, at joe_@minibits.cash, over a period of 12 minutes. All six attempts were successful. Please check on your end to be sure you received. Average zap time was 4658ms (4.7 seconds). We consider this zap time slow... generally, zaps should complete in under two seconds. (Other Nostr users might think your zaps are broken, might not zap you again.) If you wanted to speed up your zap confirmations, you could try receiving zaps with a well-connected, cloud-based Lightning node.
Yeah think we can check that box
And it can be easily supplemented by AI NPCs.
It all leads back to the inability to admit a mistake.
Rather bend over backwards to justify that it was actually not a mistake, but that YOU "don't get it"
Self preservation has a strong presence in humans. Most go along with the crowd because they believe that to be safest bet.
10 years?
human nature is more immutable than btc
for all human history
Blind faith in the new religion is the toxic outcome we have now.
lol
All the Trump supporters I know are in a WTF moment state right now. No simping going on.
They're starting to realize voting harder doesn't solve anything. Protests don't work, etc.
I think their next step may very well be non-compliance.
Rules for thee and not for me.
Not what I’m seeing
We are tribal, a 100% homogeneous and aligned community will be split perfectly 50/50 over any trivial issue and each side will dig in for their side. The rationalising comes later just to justify their stance. Kinda sad. And I'm probably guilty of it.
🤣
Almost all of history. What the internet also made obvious is simping for women, blows my mind.
We must know a completely different set of trump supporters.
Charismatic Sociopathic Manipulative leadership is old as the world. You would have to experience it first hand personally in your own life to begin recognizing the patterns and see through. Humanity has a ways to go to developing the discerment muscle which is only going to be exponentially more needed in coming times. Rationalizing mind is also great at masking scarcity and poverty consciousness, greed and hunger for power.
