    every time i see someone that is genuinely trying to learn but is not really good at formulating questions and their questions are read by others as inflammatory i get that feeling of disappointed amusement it’s like a divine comedy because i get both sides and why they act the way they do. i fully fully fully understand how this hypervigilance online is a pretty apt response to the extent the ‘net is astroturfed but the thing that makes it most effective is that it’s truly indiscernible from the other good quarter of sincere beginners. most people are so inundated with propaganda or simply just unable to formulate a question in a way that does not seem loaded that a plant is indiscernible from someone in earnest. bleh
