it's a fixation on the extremes, no?

the people making jokes like "I'm surprised everyone wasn't wearing sunglasses already, their future is so bright" (ok, it was me, right now) are those who had witnessed some form of the extreme cryptobro asserting anyone not on board is mentally disabled.

i'd assert there's nothing unhealthy or immoral about laughing at the poetry of the stereotypical actor doing a sterotypical action and it paralleling the generalization regarding the trope of the failures of NFTs: "a declared cool reality shifter, but potentially harmless fad meeting physical reality with a literally harmful event."

sociopathic, of course, but to those not considering internet based social media "society" it's in containment
