The idea that normies and NPCs don't communicate, but instead they "cast spells". As in they just try to find the right combination of words to get you to do what they want?
For instance, they want to shut you up, so they yell "that's bigoted". You might not even be racist in that moment, but it is something they say because they want you to stop talking.
What is the origin on that? I'm trying to share it with a friend. Thanks.
It's just sociopathy and it's as old as time. Whenever a sociopath interacts with you it's to press buttons to make you do something.
It shows up in liberals so much because of 'performative' fake emotions and rituals required by their ideology. In essence they are cosplay sociopaths.
I think it's a better way to look at it because it explains their other actions; for example, it's completely logical to stop ICE from deporting a cold blooded killer not because they have empathy for the guy or want killers here but for the personal reward they get from it.
