Surprised Mary Trump would comment on Theo Fleury, but stranger things have happened.

He's tweeted or retweeted 20+ times since posting that. He's addicted to his audience and won't leave Twitter.

If you know any in real life, there is no reasoning once they're down the rabbit hole. They have an answer for everything and believe every bit of ammo the far right sites gives them. In their mind they are not on a "wrong/bad/unethical/poisoned" side.

They are correct and the main stream media followers are just too afraid to seek the truth. Honestly, this is exactly where they're at, so there's no such thing as an intervention.

If it isn’t a mental health issue (edit: for at least a portion of this group), how would you categorize it?

Helping people like this is the moral thing to do, no? Isn’t this what we’ve been talking about with men’s mental health for years? These people are preyed upon to be brainwashed for the gain of others. They deserve help, I just have absolutely no idea how to start. I don’t accept “no such thing as an intervention” to this problem without some sort of alternative solution.

We could use less “they” in the world.

Can you point me to which disorders listed in the DSM cite violent, racist/fascist tendencies as symptoms?

[jayswin]

Sorry I should clarify, that was not meant as a put down, like "they can't be helped", perhaps I just expressed it with too much frustration.

My point of frustration is that with drug addicts, alcoholics etc, they will resist, they will avoid, they will semi-convince themselves that they're not at a problem level. But deep down they know the destructive nature and that interventions are there to help.

QAnon, far right people believe they are on one side of a political spectrum/debate and that's it. There's no "deep down I know this is wrong" for which the foundation of an intervention requires, imo.

I think it is the gullibility, penchant to blame others for perceived wrong doings, victim complex, constant anger towards others, obsession with never accepting responsibility for ones own actions or station in life etc.

I don’t think anyone saying being a trump supporter is a mental health issue. But getting wrapped up in a fantasy world definitely could be.

Okay, I see what you're saying and preach it myself and try to live by it, but I'm confused at your application of it towards me and that post. I was referencing one specific group of people in response to Wormious who brought up QAnon/conspriacy/far right people. The descriptor 'they' in this sense isn't any different than saying "they" in place of Flames players or police in those respective discussions.

Bolded the critical point I was trying to make with my post.

Membership within the Flames is a matter of fact, whereas ideology defined by “far right people” is quite a bit more nebulous.I understand that we all make generalizations. But using “they” over and over pretty much comes across like you aren’t accounting for any individual variation within the group you have defined. And making generalizations based on personal experience only is almost always going to be inaccurate to some extent.

I know it’s just a manner of writing and not reflective of your personal views. But when we use they too much, I just don’t think it’s productive. Even if the distinction is factual , say based on race or religion.

Just brutal luck for him and the team with his concussion issues. What could have been......

But the Flames are making that same pick 10 times out of 10. Just horrible luck, injury wise.

Yeah, it wasn't a bad pick at the time. He was a legitimate talent and looked like he was going to pan out before the concussion issues. As far as I know, there were no issues before the draft, so it's not like they drafted that risk. I certainly don't fault the Flames for picking him, and I especially have no issues with Daniel Tkaczuk. I felt terrible for the guy and am really happy that he is still working in hockey today. But as far as results go, it was still a terrible draft even if the 1st round was just bad luck.

The whole Theo Fleury thing is really disappointing to me. I had no issues with his previous statements and high opinion of himself. I figured it was his defense mechanism to help him sleep at night. But this Trump crap is just too much.

I’ll be on Laura Ingram @foxnews tonight!!!!

Uh, that's not the win you seem to think it is.


Can Canadian Conservatives please stop going on US "news" shows and embarrassing us? Please?

[SportsJunky]

Fleury and Ingram deserve each other. Couple of crackpots.

In some ways he’s such an idiot, but it feels kind of sick how conspiracy nuts have befriended him just to take advantage of his stunted emotional state and relative fame.
