I find emotional reaction to the last🧵 interesting. Hundreds of people try to outscream each other about how impossible would be for a father to kill his child or even consent to such a murder

Well, criminal statistics says otherwise. It's very common. So why are you screaming?

Emotional denial "It's impossible!" of something that is not only possible, but indeed very common suggests that:

1. You are defending. And you are not defending Dugin. You are defending the positive image of *yourself*
2. You know perfectly well there is a reason to defend

If the outraged audience did *really* think that the described scenario is ridiculous, they would just pass by. Your aggressive reaction suggests you do not find it ridiculous after all. You find it very plausible. And that's exactly why you are screaming

Let's make a thought experiment. If I said something truly ridiculous, like:

"Lukashenko killed Darya to destabilise Russia and eliminate a competitor on the potassium market"

Nobody would scream in anger. They'd walk away. Because they'd *genuinely* think that's implausible

But when I say something like:

"Dad was most probably informed they're gonna kill his daughter. I wouldn't be surprised if he proposed it himself"

You scream in outrage. Because you do not find that ridiculous at all. You find it believable. Hence, your outrage and denial
