They are the very definition of the blind woke, who preach equality but are completely deluded to the fact that they are quite possibly the most discriminatory of all.
It's called the Dunning Kruger effect. Or rather, the echo chamber and continued posting where everyone agrees/thinks like you reinforces the belief that you must be smarter than everyone who thinks different.
Just reading the forums for 5 minutes feels like my IQ is dropping, it's such low bandwidth intellect discussion. Look at JonMorris in the Twitter thread, questioning RustyBins claim that Tesla went crazy with growth and had a little reset. Anyone who knows how to look up a stock chart can see what kind of growth Rusty was referring to.
The tendency to jump all over every dip in the stock price and blame it on Musk rather than the multitude of other factors, external and internal, that affect a companies share price is a classic false cause fallacy. Raz77 hits the nail on the head "it's a good thing no one comes to this thread for investment advice"
Likewise SissySpaceks latest bit of genius - accusing NYPD policing of campus protests as being "very personal"
as a neutral observer of all 3 forums I can tell you Dunning Kruger is in effect in this thread as well. I can also tell you there is no higher bandwidth from some of you either.
they do their thing, you do your thing. all as bad as each other.
the only difference is most of those on DS and AV don't care. it is a very different story here. this thread only exists to complain about them, no such threads exist on DS or AV.
"As a neutral observer" and yet here you are pontificating
This forum is as valid as any other, with a multitude of topics/threads on a variety of issues.
Watching nutcases on DS and AVF is highly entertaining & well worth commenting on, like any other study of human behaviour, whether it be sports, news, politics, celebs or whatever.
