Have you ever noticed that ideologies are always formed around writers who love to write a lot of words? They often cover the same few ideas, over and over, in different ways. But mostly it's a LOT of words. This is not an accident.

@eshear A lot of this can be attributed to the Mere-exposure effect: https://t.co/0JIFNF7yIF Just saying the same things loudly and often will get people on your side.

@PrinceVogel Iā€™m not familiar enough with the history. Was it an ideological movement separate from social justice and communism?

Just had a realization: long posts are a method for jailbreaking your mind. They can make many subtle moves to manipulate your state of mind. In shorter posts the moves would have to be either larger and thus easier to detect, or fewer and thus unable to move you that far.
