    The psychology of delusionism

    It has come to my attention that some on this forum believe that I am a "sock", a "troll", and incessantly annoying.

    In the interest of self improvement, since I hold none of those opinions of myself, I am soliciting honestly thought out examples of those characteristics so that I might self-examine objectively.

    Lest you think this is a purely selfish motive, let me say that it is a question you might all ask similar questions about yourselves, as well.

    One of my critics believes I will be outed as a sock very soon, and my ass booted from this forum as a reward. I asked, "Who do you think I am a sock for", and no answer was forthcoming. Anybody else?

    A sock for the nutty left?
    When Donald Trump said to protest “peacefully”, he meant violence.

    When he told protesters to “go home”, he meant stay for an insurrection.

    And when he told Brad Raffensperger to implement “whatever the correct legal remedy is”, he meant fraud.

    War is peace.

    Freedom is slavery.

    Ignorance is strength.

    This is interesting - we perceive reality differently.

    Their is a majority in here who still believe Trump was the way, the truth and the last word. When someone rows upstream against the delusions posted here they began to tic or trigger or begin a torrent of insults. Which, by now, you understand. Anything anti right is called trolling. By said group. There are some fine people in here who do not march in lockstep that vote republican and that makes it bearable. I see it as mental self stimulation visiting here and holding up a mirror at times. I think its good for old people to read differing opinions, laugh at insults and see what pisses off the right while I have coffee. It even makes me laught at times. And I appreciate that.
    Maybe its your screen name, jesphkn...........but wtf does a "sock" mean.

    And why the obsession with "socks"...

    As for my fake name, I personally think it's one of the all-time best on forums like this! I can't remember how many times I've stopped an adversary who was tending toward virtual violence by saying, "Hey man, I'm jes' fuchinwitcha..."

    One time, on another forum, a lengthy and very heated argument carried on interminably about how one poster was going to file a lawsuit against me for defamation. Just the thought of the filing with the court would crack me up for weeks…

    …in the 13th District Court of Fantasyland, Lib Slayer, address: Forum of the Fart Headed Laffers, seeks a billion dollars in damages from jes’fuchinwitcha for making fun of him anonymously.

    I always wondered if he had prevailed, who I would make the check out to?
