Nice username. My comment triggered you hard enough to make another account? I suppose it's good cover for avoiding responsible posting.

To help you out since you won't help yourself: the end of 1984 shows how psychological torture brings hard, rational people to doublethink. "I will not pay for my tax return. I will pay for my tax return."

I don't reuse usernames on sites with no privacy controls. I haven't seen someone desperate enough to use the "triggered" cliché the way you did on this site in a while. (Popular on reddit though!)

I asked you a question in earnest, which part of that was not "responsible?" You tried to answer, but we both know it wasn't good. You're stretching "doublethink" to include falling for their dark pattern? In the context of 1984 doublethink regards indoctrination. Further proof you've never read it.

If I were as interested in lying and as bad at it as you are I'd probably go out of my way for anonymity too.
