The problem with these conversations is that everyone is permanently stuck in signalling mode, so the conversation inevitably becomes about the fairy-tale land of human self-propaganda.

...

For the reality, see this comic, especially the last panel.

The comic is drawn from the same fairyland, and citing fictional evidence is just more propaganda.

Speaking of being stuck in signalling mode, what else is this: "I know it's going to get downvoted (but I am a sucker for telling the truth)"?

Perhaps drawn from a different fairy-land, namely that of a sort of cynical sarcasm.

I prefer to describe it as "loser shit".
