continued Thatfucker discussion

[anonniemouse]

Since we've been kicked off FFA for the week, please feel free to continue the anon discussion here. Apologies if this is a big flop - I've never made a DW community before!

The rules are vaguely the same as they are over on FFA. Please refrain from being too much of an asshole, making personal attacks, posting identifying information or engaging in transfail.

ETA: If there's information you'd like to see archived (journal/blog posts related to Andy, etc.), please dump it here and link to it from the main post for discussing.

Re: Cosplay Pictures/Interviews of Andy and Abbey

To be fair, I don't think most of the world knows how one makes the Olympic team.

It's FAR more than a matter of "to be fair". It's literally how Andy keeps getting away with all his lies, no matter how ridiculous: by betting on 2 simple facts:

1. that most people he talks to don't know more than he does;

2. that people who know better (or think they know better) won't dare contradict him because who would lie about something like that?

It doesn't matter whether people know better about anything than Andy does, because either way, they won't contradict him. And if they do speak up against him (like for example when the Caps talk about psychosis), they are not believed anyway, because once again, who would lie about something like that? It's much easier to believe that somehow both Andy and the Caps are right, or that Andy is wrong about having schizophrenia but he himself doesn't know he's wrong, than to believe he's just outright lying about it.

People will always believe Andy, no matter what he says, and even if they personally know better than he does, simply because it's too hard to disbelieve someone who seems so sincere.

Once you can fake sincerity, you've got it made. :-P

Probably a GOOD thing he's way too dysfunctional to go in for politics - we've got enough destructive types in that field as it is.
