I think what CXR is doing is unwittingly showing us the process by which he was radicalised; viewing an incessant stream of anecdotal shîte on the Internet.
It started off as his little joke, spamming us with Libs of TikTok, or WTF it was, but through osmosis he has come to believe it, and seated within him is now a cult belief system. He can't yet mention it to his wife, family or friends, but in time he will, and he will lose them as they distance themselves.
It's not as refined a belief system as Aurora's, as she is more trained. Indeed, she comes here to practise her arguments on a daily basis. But it isn't just practice. It is also a sort of incantation, because it isn't just us she is trying to convince.
