Urban McMansion.

Like how some people refuse to admit that Hamas is evil.

So you admit it?

It's well-known that people who post to Tumblr are bigots.

So you think RFK Jr is a good candidate?

Pure McMansion.

Pure McMansion.

And that house's design is no worse than any other house's design.

Oh no, people other than the Old Money families have some money now! Horrible!

I could imagine it happening to a Robin.

They have their Canon Event, they become obsessed with avenging it, they end up under the wing of some Batman or other, the villains do the intervention, the Robin blames Batman for allowing them to fight crime so young...

and a decade or so later they put it together that Batman set the whole thing up.

Charlie Brown, you died.

"The True Believer" by Eric Hoffer

The True Believer: Thoughts on the Nature of Mass Movements is a non-fiction book authored by the American social philosopher Eric Hoffer. Published in 1951, it depicts a variety of arguments in terms of applied world history and social psychology to explain why mass movements arise to challenge the status quo.

Hoffer argues that mass movements are broadly interchangeable even when their stated goals or values differ dramatically. This makes sense, in the author's view, given the frequent similarities between them in terms of the psychological influences on its adherents. Thus, many will often flip from one movement to another, Hoffer asserts, and the often shared motivations for participation entail practical effects. Since, whether radical or reactionary, the movements tend to attract the same sort of people in his view, Hoffer describes them as fundamentally using the same tactics including possessing the rhetorical tools. As examples, he often refers to the purported political enemies of communism and fascism as well as the religions of Christianity and Islam.

Successful mass movements need not believe in a god, but they must believe in a devil.
