Linkedin has become 4Chan it seems

Oooh i like that idea. Reading the posts like greentext makes so much more sense.

Except there are people actually this stupid and crazy. We need a new word for that. Stupsane?

That won't do. Everyone knows gods protect fools, and madness is practically a subset of traditional divinity. Lumping these people in with insane idiots is very disrespectful.

LOL imagine believing that gods are real and not just a desperate attempt by fearful monkeys to make sense of a random and indifferent universe. Or believing that Eris isn't there to cancel that shit out.

You know this is why nobody likes us atheists, right?

Okay. Then how about... "MBA"?

I think it's already called a Straw Man.

Someone fake that people will attack and ridicule. And then, when pointed out that it's fake, people will backtrack and say silly things like "there are people actually this stupid and crazy" without an oz of awareness that nearly all their examples of others acting like that are, also, straw men.

That would be valid point if I haven't literally met people like this. I'm well aware of logical fallacies. Unfortunately reality is incredibly stupid and we all have to live with it.
