Not to belabor the details, but one famous conservative influencer cheated with another, leaving behind two devastated spouses and miscellaneous alienated children. This prompted a great deal of self-examination on the Right about how many were so easily fooled.

After the required span of hours for shock, the messages started: we are all sinners; judge not lest you be judged; no one is perfect. Lots of crosses got posted and messages about how we were all forgiven in Jesus or something of that nature.

The problem with that line of thinking is that it assumes we are all the same. That is, that all sins are equal in impact, and all people commit equivalent sins, when common sense and daily experience show us the opposite. People differ widely.

Lumping us all in with the failures exists, like unions and Communism, to make the failures seem legitimate, when in fact if you removed the most egregious failures, life would improve immediately as would our prospects for the future.

We are seeing the behavior of people who should not walk among us. They are mentally broken, whether by defect of intelligence or sanity or both, and their behavior shows that they are somewhere on the spectrum of selfishness between narcissistic abuse and sociopathy.

Then again, this should not surprise those of us who live in the conditions of demotism; when it comes to manipulating the opinions of others, sociopaths always win because they are single-mindedly focused on the manipulation and not worried about consistency.

This means that your influencers are always going to be sociopaths, and they do not stop doing sociopath stuff when they go home. In fact, there they are not observed, so the behavior may get even worse.

We received a wake-up call, and it is to stop trusting social media to produce spokespeople for us. Like the Left, we need people of real intellect to show the theory and provable results of our ideals. We do not need more entertainers because those trained to lie will lie to us.
