I think it's also a desire to appear more "based" than everyone else. They want to make it known that they care so much about what they think is the most important issue (Israel) that they are willing to fight for it at the expense of everything else.

There's also the urge and incentive to break with Trump over "principles." You saw this a lot with pro-lifers saying not to vote for Trump because of IVF. It's like people are lying in wait for the delicious moment to signal that they too disagree with Trump.

The most insane response to the whole situation that I saw was one “Leonarda Jonie” replying to Trump’s Tweet informing of the Iranian strikes. “You will go down as the worst president in history. Congratulations on betraying the American people.” 45K likes. Absolutely baffling to me. How can you say something like this and still be treated as a serious political figure?

She accused me of “stalking” her after that Blackpilled streamer began claiming I was Jewish because I blocked him. Her evidence: I had blocked her as well. All of these people are complete scum who should not be tolerated anywhere.

When you think about their retarded attention-laundering business model, you realize they’re Arch-Free Subscribers.

It’s very tiresome.

Times like this help provide better context for why armies used to execute men for cowardice. Panic is very infectious to people who don’t have a solid mental framework for understanding the bigger picture

How do they still not get it? How many times do we have to be right? They really thought Trump would drag us into a 20 year conflict. It’s embarrassing but I guess we should be grateful that these retards keep exposing themselves.

Some people just want to lose because laying down and dying is easier than putting yourself to the hard work ahead.

Free subscriber behavior.

Despair is a sin because it's an abandonment of all hope and trust of salvation.

We already know we're going to win.

I don’t know who Nick Land is but I find it comforting to know he also watched tree house of horrors VI.

They are blind to the fact that they are just virtue signaling, very much like the leftists they ridicule for the same reason.

Most of it is empty, more whining more than it is actually fighting, but while the left can afford as much infighting as it has due to the sheer difference in entrenchment, the new right has no such luxury.

Well said. The people who constantly behave this way need to be excluded at all costs, they will only ever be a liability.

Hey Mr. Grove, was wondering if age has anything to do with it. Groypers, by and large, just saw their defacto "older brothers" (based millenials/x'ers) go on a fairly unprcedented streak of consistently "being right" by being overtly cynical. However, I would argue that this was a much more reasonable attitude at the height of the post-WWII ideological epoch. Dubya seems to genuinely be a fool whose administration made some baffling blunders that are impossible to explain to this day. It's almost a wonder that he was even re-elected. When the climax of the post-war attitude hit its zenith with Obongo, almost all hope was lost (for the right; the left was over-the-moon), so of course extreme cycnicism in conservative circles was a hot commodity. But then enter Drumpfy, suddenly thigns are almost reset to the 50's in some ways (immigration), the 90's in others (economy), 2030's in others (cypto, Space Force, Tesla). Regardless, Trump brought a cultural shift of titanic proportions, immeasurably ushering out the post-war/neo-con epoch into a new era - the Trump-era. So now, all those BASED gen Xer's/millenials, formally turbo-cyncical (but correctly so) turned a new leaf, full of excitement and optimism that finally SOMETHING had rocked the boat. Zoomers literally can't understand, nor do they do any historical research TO understand (outside of screaming how X and Y were fake and gay). In a way, I think that they must feel like they "missed out" - they have FOMO for when cynicism was fashionable and everywhere on the Internet. When "Pico's School" ruled Newgrounds or when "Nigga Stole My Bike" dominated the web. Or when Pepe was cool and edgy or when anime discusison was verbotten IRL. Like, don't get me wrong, "le racism" is in a bit of a golden era online currently in some ways with stuff like George Droid, but without liberals getting as volumetircally upset, maybe it's not quite as fun? Or as "cool" as when older bro did it? COVID was a bit of a boon in this regard, but with Biden out and Trump in again and everything semi-back-to-normal even that fashion of cyncism fizzled out. Now like raped mindslaves they toil in the drama mines, begging for crumbs of things to be cynical about. Drumpfy sending unprecednted amounts of illegals home? Could be more. Drumpf encounters complicated Middle-Eastern conflict? Saddam Hussein 2.0. Drumpfy forgot he had dinner with a Nick Fuentes who never made his prescence known, nor introduced himself to the president? He obviously has dementia and hates Nick specifically.
