The Psychosis of Freepers... [View All]

[lala_rawraw]

Let's have a really solid analysis of what the "Freeper" is, it might be fun or it might be constructive, who knows:). So in starting my little analysis I thought it would help to discuss them in terms of some of the below structures:

1). What type of socio-economic background
2). Motivation
3). Ethical Background
4). Emotional Type
5). Self-View
6). World View
(insert whatever you want here).

I have tried to make heads/tails out of who/what they are and then I finally concluded that like any cult recruit, they are deeply disturbed. Here is my shot at an analysis based on the 6 structures above:

They are usually white, middle-class, twenty-somethings. They were either picked on extensively at school or abused in some other way. They need to impress and have attention. They are driven by revenge and greed. They justify all of their actions by their own emotions, not in terms of "right/wrong." They are insecure and prone to tantrums. They are not usually highly intelligent, but are highly manipulative. They can compartmentalize very well. Their strongest emotion is hate, followed by fear of disapproval.

Yes, they are sick bastards. The only good thing is that in the end, they all end up like Atwater, begging for forgiveness on their deathbeds from the very preachers they bribed. Poetic irony.

What is your analysis of these soulless creatures?
