it’s so funny watching people go into discourse autopilot
some random trigger word or phrase activates a discourse subroutine and they start aggressively interacting with a completely imagined idea they are projecting onto something that is simply. not that.
sometimes it feels exactly like talking to an AI chatbot because you’re like “oh I can see that you are recycling some conversational points you saw someone else use once and downloaded them to your database of Things To Say and are now spitting them out in an attempt at an argumentative pattern that is only loosely related to the situation at hand”
How dare you say we piss on the poor
This is exactly the phenomenon people were describing by calling people "NPCs."
