    it started as a farce, but those who actually thought that way didn’t understand it was a joke on them, and soon it was just people who unironically believed this way. If you act like something stupid, even in a manner to make fun of them, you will attract them. If you don’t cut that shit out like a malignant tumor, it won’t be long until that tumor takes over.

      There’s also an element of if you keep acting a certain way it starts to infect how you think as seen above. Some of those people essentially trained themselves to be massive racists
