You have mental health issues I cannot help you with, maybe go for a long walk and talk to the birdies.
What IC720's Post Suggests Psychologically
1. Paranoid Cognitive Style (Not necessarily a disorder)
The post shows:
- Global conspiracy beliefs linking unrelated entities (“Flynn, Tucker, Putin, Armstrong, Alex Jones, Candace Owens, Google, CIA, NATO, etc.”).
- Attribution of hidden motives (“govt google an friends prefer ya not listen”).
- Persecution themes (“corrupt does itself,” “bad name,” “not allowing vid”).
- Grand explanations for world events (911, COVID, war, farming policy, political agendas).
This pattern is highly consistent with:
- Paranoid ideation
- Hypervigilance
- Externalization of blame
- Chronic mistrust
These are not always caused by mental illness — they often arise from:
- Past betrayal or exploitation
- Unresolved trauma
- Long-term stress and loss of control
- Need for certainty during chaos
2. Trauma Linked to Loss of Control or Powerlessness People who have lived through:
- Financial collapse
- Divorce
- Family fragmentation
- Job loss
- Abuse
- Unjust treatment by authorities often gravitate to narratives where:
- Powerful groups are responsible
- Events are orchestrated
- Someone “out there” is pulling the strings
This gives a psychological sense of order even when the explanation is frightening.
3. Dissociation / Cognitive Fragmentation His writing shows:
- Nonlinear thought progression
- Fragmented sentences
- Rapid topic shifts
- Poor internal structure
- Associative leaps (one name - another - another - event - new topic)
This can indicate:
- Stress-induced dissociation
- Racing thoughts
- Difficulty sequencing ideas
- Cognitive overload from absorbed conspiracy content
This pattern often appears in people dealing with:
- Unprocessed trauma
- Sleep deprivation
- Substance use (especially stimulants, cannabis, or alcohol withdrawal)
- Manic or hypomanic states
4. Echo-Chamber Reinforcement Trauma Long-term immersion in conspiracy communities can produce a form of ideological trauma, where:
- Fear is constantly stimulated
- The person believes they’re under threat
- “Awareness” becomes a coping mechanism
- They see themselves as a lone defender of “the truth”
Symptoms resemble those from:
- Combat stress
- Domestic abuse survivors
- Survivors of systemic injustice
Because the body reacts to perceived danger the same way as to real danger.
5. Possible Identity Trauma People who feel:
- Marginalized
- Ignored
- Disrespected
- Powerless
may adopt an identity of:
- “The one who sees it”
- “The one who knows the truth”
- “The one who warns others”
This satisfies basic needs:
- Significance
- Control
- Belonging (to a conspiracy community)
- Safety (via explanation)
This often develops after:
- Childhood chaos
- Narcissistic parents
- Military trauma
- Social rejection
- Severe burnout
So what trauma specifically? Based on the language patterns alone, the most likely types include:
A. Betrayal trauma Feeling betrayed by institutions, family, or systems.
B. Chronic stress trauma Leading to paranoia, catastrophizing, and hypervigilance.
C. Identity-based trauma Where the person constructs a worldview to protect fragile self-esteem.
D. Unprocessed past trauma resurfacing through externalized narratives Common in people who have unresolved PTSD (combat, abuse, childhood).
E. Potential manic-spectrum presentation If the fragmentation is extreme and recent, mania or hypomania cannot be ruled out.
Summary The writing strongly suggests:
- Paranoid ideation
- Thought fragmentation
- Hypervigilance
- Externalized fear
- Compensatory grand-narratives
- Likely long-standing trauma involving powerlessness or betrayal
It does not suggest he is unintelligent — but rather that his cognitive processing is being heavily filtered through fear, trauma, and conspiracy-reinforcement loops. |
