It's absolutely funny and boggling how this person is trying to make himself and this stupid group of manchildren look brilliant and smart. You can see how he picks and chooses which things to talk about. He hypes up things that are small and essentially insignificant because that's the only thing the group has done. He avoids talking about the absolutely terrible state of this group and how it's cannibalizing itself and is bleeding members. He avoids talking about how Nick is a terrible leader that seems to have obtained some kind of brain rot that has made him into an even more incompetent fool.
Imagine being this man where you get suckered into following a political group and you kiss the leader's ass so much, you lose your job. And then after losing your job, the group becomes worse and worse over time. So now, in order to not curl up into a ball and let the fact that you ruined a part of your life and time set in, you're desperately trying to debate internet randos that the group is actually quite great and is doing a good job and you're actually smart and brilliant and you're smugly chuckling in front of your keyboard every time you respond.
Imagine being that deluded. It sounds like hell
You see Travis, if you were actually intelligent, you would recognize that you're doing something stupid, accept your failure, and learn to do better. However, because you're stupid and a mark, you can't accept that you would be stupid enough to do something wrong. You're not as smart as you think you are and it shows your maturity and intelligence is actually quite low. For some reason, you can't accept that you're human and you made a mistake. You have to say that you did the right thing and you're smart.
God, this is embarrassing. It's like trying to teach a dog that the creature in the mirror isn't actually another dog, it's them. Except, it's a grown adult trying to insist that they are not flawed and always do the right thing.
