There's a lot more info on this when you relate it to an older analysis that says many people are seemingly in search of the 'deserving poor' as an excuse to never help anyone.

they do not see and interpret reality.

they have their idea of what is, and then use visual input (for example) only as a muse to further develop that idea. you can't argue with them, because anything that doesn't support them just passes through (and if you trojan horse this, you are now the devil).

they're solipsists, and its by choice. not human beings, not entities in the same world as us, sharing the same context and world and connectedness and shit. in a very real way, these fuckers are taking the world from us, in a very real way, these fuckers are invaders from another world (a world they made up and does not exist, but which their consciousness occupies, which ours infringes upon).

that's why your uncle or whatever getting taken by fox news feels like such a loss. they are genuinely lost, the person is gone. no longer here. bricked in an unrecoverable manner.
