For the young, it's a way of branding their profile on "My Space", with a rad sounding subject, one they can mine "facts" about, and "teach" others about. So its a stance. A look. It's like a tattoo, one that to family, teachers, and employers, can remain forever covert, and never be harrassed or punished.
It brings, hopefully, connectedness. Existing splinter groups abound, and news articles can be shared, expounded on , pontificated over, almost endlessly, repeating again and again, how corrupt "they" are, and how pure "we" are, and how much better "our plan" is, than the money-driven corporate trap now in force. Yadda, yadda, yadda. Dating strategy.
For paid big-charity PR shills, it's a career. Selected factoids must be curried, carefully nurtured, spun up, and "exposed" in just the right way, to gain mention in some oligarch's will, and keep the collection targets for this quarter well-met.
Any miniscule real-world occurrence is a great opportunity for a vid-byte, re-iterating that the eternal message, of the endless agenda, must go on because...... because everybody at NGO "X" or "Y" have new Volvos to pay off, and soccer coaches to hire for Johnnie, and not a heck of a lot more than that. In a nutshell, They are Lying for Dollars.
Then, of course, we have the purely delusional. They rant on because of internal demons, and require an exorcism, more than they require a hearing. For one's own sanity, it's best not to listen too closely. Their very passion itself can become ensnaring, and then they have you a bit sickened too. Life in delusion is not a fully lived life, its not worth the pain.
