Another good word might be 'paranoid'



"Good" as in ~fun to think about" (I agree!), or more like "is an accurate description of what is going on here with my comment" (in this case at least, that would be inaccurate)?

What is happening in this thread is rather interesting though, don't you think? And this same sort of thing is happening all over the world right now, as we speak, nudging humanity toward who knows what kind of suboptimal, undesired outcomes.

Planet Earth, 2024, is a wild trip!


Definitionally paranoia is irrational. Is it still irrational to worry about fake accounts on the internet pushing agendas?


To worry about them? No. To assume every other account is? Probably.
