When my sister gets messages on Facebook from strangers who didn't appreciate my takes on various subjects, I doubt it would get labelled "Mainstream normie target innocent people".

"Above all, don't lie to yourself. The man who lies to himself and listens to his own lie comes to a point that he cannot distinguish the truth within him, or around him, and so loses all respect for himself and for others. And, having no respect, he ceases to love."

- Fyodor Dostoevsky, The Brothers Karamazov
