The Four Stooges of Misinformation
After learning about Jimmyโs struggle with the life altering condition of
Aspergerโs (an autism spectrum disorder) it became self evident why it is pointless, futile and unsatisfying to engage in โ
conversationโ with a person suffering from severe Aspergerโs Syndrome. It would be equally frustrating, futile and silly to listen to this kind of person for medical advice. The thing is, Jimmy is not alone. Although their efforts are not coordinated, there is a comradery in what we have deemed โ
mass formation psychosis circle jerkingโ formed amongst these
โstooges,โ the 4 man band that comprises the propaganda machine running amok furiously spamming page after page of fake news articles.
After carefully analyzing the behaviors and patterns of the rest of the stooges, it became clear that they are all suffering of Aspergerโs to varying degrees. Readers should be warned, but should we try to silence or convince this underprivileged group of the online massage community? NO, it is my belief that these people must be suffering enough in their real life, and they find the ability to have a voice online as a light in the middle of the tunnel that they live in daily. In real life nobody listens to them or cares about their ideas, their belief in conspiracy theories and
their ability to speak about it nonstop irrespective of whether anybody is listening (one of the symptoms of AS) is something that gives them hope and happiness.
In the event that there is people who come across this thread and are not familiar with the profiles of the stooges, I am creating some short bios to help guide potential new readers in making clear judgements about the source of the information they read.
The Dao
Aspergerโs score: 4/5
Racist Score: 5/5
Educational background: none apparent
Skills: skilled at trolling nonstop repeatedly numerous times per day. Very skilled at trampling over logic and ignoring evidence provided to disprove his claims.
The Dao possesses the
second most Aspergerโs symptoms of the stooges. A complete inability to grasp sarcasm, jumps from topics to topics without any logic or reason, changes beliefs as he sees fits, sometimes contradicting himself. This man has admitted to being a morbidly obese individual who is ironically obsessed with the health industry and "natural" supplements.
Rumor has it that he is obsessed with collecting information about exercise; ironically has no interest in physical activity. Typical of Asperger's when the sufferer develops obsessions with niche details of an activity without understanding of having interest in the activity itself. Thus the Dao is obsessed with vitamins while he lives a morbidly obese lifestyle in his parent's basement trolling on the internet.
The Dao is an antivaxxer, not just
against the COVID vaccine but
every vaccine. Has claimed that the virus does not exist, and itโs actually a bacteria. The severe psychological trauma is clearly felt when you interact with this individual; sometimes he reacts with rage but can be handled by nice words to console him and remind him that he can have friends. He believes the Earth is Flat, enough said. He claims he is Korean.
StripFan
Aspergerโs Score: 3.5/5
Racist Score: 5/5
Educational Background: None apparent
Skills: Expert at copying and pasting articles from far right religious โnewsโ sites.
Stripfan seems to be convinced that he has an audience, or that he is trying to build an audience. The funny thing is that, in order for you to have an audience you need to have an opinion but this person has never given an opinion rather just copies and pastes links to opinions provided by more skilled writers. Maybe he is secretly working to improve the SEO of those websites? This person is obsessed with Jesus and religious bias.
Nice and Naughty
Aspergerโs Score: 3/5
Racist Score: 3/5
Educational Background: Unknown/Mystery
Skills: skilled at stealth attack operations, comes in and insults someone then disappears, skilled at avoidance of responsibility for things said, also skilled at high fives and circle jerking. The cheerleader of the group.
Not much is known about this Stooge, as he is a master of stealth. It is suspected that he lives โoff the gridโ and is a literal ghost activist antigovernment and apocalypse promoter. His motives are not clear, but he has made it clear that he believes there is an โunknownโ dark hand pulling all the strings in the world. The delusions presented by this individual are akin to schizophrenia delusions.
