But would you also engage in these behaviors if you couldn't go online and A) project action onto an "army" that neither exists or has occurred; and B) gain social prestige by allying with a dominant narrative?
The question isn't intended to be rude, or suggesting your motives are tarnished. Just a query into the extent online projection (and presumptions about it) affect our choices. Note also that I am distinguishing between your stated choices and the choices themselves.
- mitigating 5y agoSince zzzeek is an online identity, how much social prestige is he getting? Does he direct other people to posts that he wears a mask? Maybe on Facebook where people often use their real name I could see that as a possible motive but here? Why is it so hard to think that people who disagree with you about masks are wearing them because they want to be safe? I wonder if the divide and anger is because each side believes the other is taking action to make a point and nothing else.
