That video he posted to youtube with him singing and apologizing for blowing his stack cause some dude went somewhere with his girlfriend...gal pal...sweetheart, was one of the saddest things i have ever seen. It was a real peek into a world i want no part of. I guess having defended him all these years, I took a hard look and thought " if that was someone I didnt know, the warning bells would be ringing".
I've held the position for a while now that the closer one is to Chris (and the closer one looks at him) the less amusing he becomes. It looks like Thetan's anonymous contact has finally looked close enough.
As we always say, you either die a white knight, or live long enough to see yourself become a troll. From what I cant tell, he's been in chris's corner for a while, But the Ivy-saga-esque video finally pushed him over the edge.
To Chris' thinking certainly you are either an ass patter or a dang dirty bullying troll. The real world is, of course, more complex than Chris' dichotomic view. This particular white knight's writing leads me to suspect they are becoming a mere observer of Chris' antics, and not a ween or a troll. Like what the vast majority of us are. Or they are simply walking away from Chris.
I also just remembered Chris still gets his tugboat after all this. How much does he and his mother get every month now?
People who won the lottery have managed to keep getting their tugboats. Chris and Barb and their Potemkin Affluence are just the tip of the wasted welfare iceberg. Admittedly they are a particularly bizarre example, but they really shouldn't cause Thetan's anonymous source or anyone here much surprise. Don't get mad at Chris or Barb for continuing to receive payments courtesy of the taxpayer (and on the taxpayer's debt) in the face of their credit fuelled lifestyle. If you must be frustrated with something, be frustrated with the bureaucracy that continues to give it to them.
Well, it might be a tad simplistic to say that you're either a "white knight" or a "troll". It's possible to not defend Chris' crazy antic while not out and out trolling him like one of the "weens".
Absolutely. We may joke about a sea of ween, but in reality there is only a small rolling population of weens, very few actual trolls, and a handful of white knights. As I said above, most of us here are here merely to observe. And laugh. Chris is completely unaware of our existence as individuals, and his perception of a Vast Trolling Conspiracy is mostly the result of his own paranoia and overweening sense of self importance. Chris has no clue about the vast majority of his observers, but the vast, vast majority of the world at large is completely unaware of Chris.
And yes...like I've said before (not to derail into politics): I'm a supporter of welfare, but honestly - seeing Chris beg for money while he spends freely on Lego and Beamers brings out the recessive Republican out in me.
Chris and Barb's lifestyle, such as it is, is fueled more on their unsustainable debt than on the taxpayer. When Thetan's anonymous source talks about new cars and BMW's and piles of expensive legos, it's clear that they have looked closely enough at Chris to realize he is hardly the victim he pretends to be, but also clear that they haven't looked closely enough to see it's all a squalid, trashy house of cards less stable than the buckling walls of 14BLC.
Consider that Chris and Barb have spent, and will continue to spend, far more in interest payments and fees and surcharges than the cost of their new used car and piles of legos. If Chris and Barb want to dig themselves ever deeper with spending their limited resources on things they don't need, well that's their choice and their business, just so long as they don't try to play the victim (which they will) when it comes back to bite them in the ass (which it will). I, myself, am not nearly as frustrated to see my hard earned taxes going to buy Chris and Barb cars and legos as I am deeply frustrated to see it so readily converted into fat profits for banks and credit card companies. Chris' legos are merely one more vector by which tax dollars go to enrich banks. I don't know if that's worth Thetan mentioning to this anonymous source, but it's definitely something worth considering with Chris' profligate lego purchasing.
Not the first guy to suggest Chris needs medical attention for his mental health issues, and probably not the last.
And I'm not the first guy to suggest that it probably wouldn't help much. I certainly won't be the last. Chris is one of those unfortunate cases that will need to learn that he, himself is largely to blame for his own problems before he can he helped to correct them. That will be a very difficult lesson for Chris to learn (if he ever does).
