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.
