    Eh, could just be completely devoid of any kind of moral compass. I think it’s dangerous to assume that these people are just idiots.

      Its tricky though. The thing that confuses people is they assume grifting is hard or some sort of art when it’s really just discarding any morals and positive personal values you have.

      So when people rise quickly in the grifting conservosphere people quickly attribute it to brilliance, when any amount of mediocrity would have sufficed. So it’s hard to identify which are smart, especially since dumbing down your speech is advantageous in their sphere.
