    They view the world at extremely low resolution.

    They think all of this is not only connected, but so connected as to be the same thing:

    • oil industry
    • capitalism
    • western civilization
    • great european art

    Basically there’s a particular type of philosophical disorder where a person has no “weighting dropoff” in the connections between their things. Every relationship has 100% weight, so if A, B, C, and D are connected in some way then A is D and you can fight A by fighting D.

    I don’t know if there’s a term for this, but it’s basically like the zero-signal-degradation manner of reasoning about causality.

      I can see modern art and stuff being connected to capitalism, but how do you see Stonehenge factor in?
