i think they mean that the maga crowd/fascists/nazis is/are generally doing fuckall and are just watching the world burn due to their heads being almost entirely filled with hot air.
“don’t worry! we’ll just ‘get rid’ of all the bad people and everything will be fine!” can be kind of a soothing sentiment, i guess…if you never spend a single moment thinking about the implications.
they assume, since they are doing fuckall to improve the situation, and are thus “just chilling”, that means that everything is actually alright and we’re not in crisis, like, all the time.
and they assume, because they lack all empathy, that everyone else must feel the same way! --> that’s the projection.
so, if you have even a single shred of empathy, I’m afraid that, no, projection isn’t gonna help you at all…
Oh I accidentally implicated I could benefit from projecting. I actually meant, I could benefit from understanding projection better, because I wondered how I might be projecting myself.
Thanks for your explanation. I comprehend it better now.
i hoped it would, but trying to explain turned out to actually be quite tricky, so i wasn’t sure whether i did a decent job of explaining…makes me glad to hear it was comprehensible! ;)
2 days old account with some nazi posting history is claiming everything is fine. I wonder why that might be…
It’s always projection with these maga folks isn’t it.
Can you explain projection in this context? I feel like I could benefit from the concept, once I understand it better.
