They don't really do much except vague posting and doing strange, borderline ableist psychoanalysis of people here. What's their deal?

Triggering chuds is our specialty, instead of looking inward and correcting their deficiencies they spiral and become obsessive, projecting whatever psychological issue they're dealing with on to us

It's me, sorry, I am haunted by the ghost of Sigmund Freud and he's convinced me I can exorcise him if I just do what he says, but I've slowly realized that he's remaking me in his own image.

I don’t know if it’s just one or two different people but I do notice every now and again there’s a new account on the site complaining about megathreads, frequent posters and that hb isn’t forming a revolutionary vanguard.
