I take it that's a conspiracy theorist website?
Nah, I'm not saying everything's a conspiracy.
I'm saying no one is genuine. Despite our best efforts or intentions, and despite our beliefs. Human nature prevents it.
Nothing insidious about it. No elaborate theory required.. It's a simple, proven blind spot everybody has: Everyone is good at criticising others, but has a big honking blind spot when it comes to themselves. They'll assume the worst about others, but rationalize their own actions (Or perhaps of their "tribe".)
Which leads to all kinds of hypocrisy, as I've pointed out from a few of my life experiences. Eveeyone's a hypocrite about something, while being uncompromising of others..
