An impressive documentary.
Everything is neatly laid out, explained, and traced back to its origins with ample attention to every conceivable detail. This naturally reveals that there's absolutely nothing true about any of the allegations, conspiracies, or theories, and that, as always with this kind of madness, it's simply a combination of intentional and accidental misunderstandings. Yet, it's all meticulously developed, and even for me, after years of experience with this phenomenon due to my elderly mother's mental illness, it still offers new insights.
But don't get me wrong, this isn't casual or relaxing viewing. It's four forty-minute segments in which a normal person would curl their toes in pain, stumbling from one bewilderment to the next. And that bewilderment remains unresolved, because precisely why the three main instigators of this latest outburst are playing their evil game remains unclear; simply having a mental illness is hardly an excuse—nor is it made clear what motivates those who participate in this dismal nonsense.
What really blows my mind is the final part. No, we really shouldn't dismiss the followers and collaborators as "crazy idiots," we should really keep the conversation going. Well, I think quite differently about that. In my experience, it's impossible to have a sensible conversation with the followers, collaborators, and the instigators themselves. For them, a conversation isn't a dialogue, but an opportunity to win souls. In that respect, too, the comparison with extreme religion is easily made.
So what? I don't know either, but letting these kinds of people roam freely in society is just asking for trouble. Compulsory admission really isn't such a crazy idea.
