you know what
a not-insignificant element of the TPOT cluster is the "cozy"/"vibes" aspect
and for some reason your reply just made me think the thought "while they espouse their shitty views they want to be comfortable, to maximize feeling unchallenged, to really get into it"
on the one hand it feels like an obvious realisation, but I also hadn't really thought of it specifically like that before
(admittedly I'm briefly jumping from "rats -> postrats" there by referencing the TPOT cluster, but as is known the latter haven't really changed their beliefs just their rendering)
