Yeah but... if enough people put enough energy into that theory and not enough people fight back, it becomes true, for all intents and purposes, you know? It's not about... evidence or facts or logic.

So it's the only thing they can do, this constant shit-generation, in hopes of disgusting everyone else so much that they can take over.
