That’s your reductive view of the public. I don’t think they’re dimwitted NPCs, but being treated disingenuously by people who think they’re NPCs.

The public is very aware they don’t deference to any particular individual. Musk, or you. At the end of the day twice as many guns as people in this country.

Those non-NPCs either continue to vote for the people treating them this way and/or continue to behave as if their authority over them is legitimate.

From my reference frame you’re one of the NPCs

lol you played yourself by engaging with someone you perceive has having no mind.

I am reciting my own inner monologue reminding myself we’re each just one of billions, nothing special. None of my posts address anyone else specifically at all.

Qualified truth is relative. This is all generic language. You’re hardly saying anything novel. You’re no further beyond the edge of human understanding than I am.

You see it as I “played myself” I see it as you’re another meat bag over stimulated by their own awareness.
