Wild drama happened – but it also made me think: how did an anon account gain such influence that even after a past crime was revealed, people here are saying he was a good guy? Proxy built strong personal ties by making many people here richer and by supporting early-stage projects, some legit, some not. Supporting someone who's just starting out – when they're small and nobody – is a powerful bond-building tactics. It's a universal human trait to feel grateful for the help. That gratitude can even blur judgment. For example, I feel something similar toward the Base eco and Jesse. They gave me a small grant early on, and even now, despite controversy, I still view Base highly positively. What really scares me is how easily this loyalty-building tactic can be used for manipulation by people with bad intentions. So I just wish more people were mindful about *why* they feel a certain way about someone.

I see you, definitely, we should be able to say wrong when the thing is wrong. but we defend everything so badly, that's human nature I guess and it's good study topic actually. eg. in turkey politics, everyone defends erdogan so badly despite he really managed so badly, he fucked up... even retards said: "he might steal our money, he works for us, he did for us." lmaoo :D

Oh yeah! sometimes I think in politics the older generation in many countries is often blind to a leader's actions because their quality of life has improved a lot over the past 15-30 years – even if it was just due to general global economic growth
