I can't help myself.

This is conspiracy theory on a grand scale, like Area 51 or Velikovski or the Face on Mars. It's a graphic novel plot playing itself out on the internet. It's every cliché in the book.

It has all the elements, wonderful good guys and dastardly bad guys, conspiracies, government plots, worldwide cabals, treachery, illuminati, evil demons and pure innocent victims battling bravely against the forces of degeneracy and corruption and unspeakable age-old evil. It is a Lovecraftian world of collectivist horror; gibbering, chittering phantoms from the pit.

And it's all so black and white, so certain, so obvious to everyone except those who are just so dense they can't see it, or they refuse to see it because they are such cowards, so morally weak. There is no nuance, no compromise, no halfway point, no common ground. It is so simple and so right. Why can't they see what it so obvious to me? How can they be such fools? So intellectually lazy? So incapable of seeing the obvious? Haven't I pointed it out to them repeatedly? WHAT IS WRONG WITH THEM? I must keep on bludgeoning them with the truth until they see it too.

Don't worry, I'm not trying to change you. I just want to explore this dark vision thoroughly before it self-destructs. Or worse, until it finally comes across a contradiction it cannot rationalize away.
