You're experiencing a break from reality

I’m not a doctor, and I’m not diagnosing you, but something is clearly off here. Not your activism, that’s your business. I’m talking about the paranoia around your computer, which has gone from confusing to genuinely concerning.

Let’s start with the basics. You don’t seem to understand how computers work. Or memory. Or what happens when you open 50 tabs and your browser starts choking because it ran out of RAM. You also don’t seem to understand how websites track views.

Now, about a different recent post. You said you were typing a response, highlighted a paragraph, and it disappeared. Your conclusion was that the cogs were somehow stepping in behind the scenes to help you. I get that you’re not familiar with how websites and HTML work, and that’s fine. But what you’re describing is not just unlikely, it’s technologically impossible. Cogs cannot reach into your active typing session and selectively edit your text. That’s not how any of this works. What’s far more likely is that you deleted it yourself, or your computer glitched because it’s outdated or struggling.

And in this post you’ve escalated to “I couldn’t retrieve a tab, therefore there’s a coordinated effort to silence me.” Come on. No one has the time, resources, or frankly the interest to orchestrate something like that around your posts. No offense, but that’s the reality. And even if someone did care that much, they still would not have the technical ability to mess with your browser tabs remotely the way you describe.

The simplest explanation is staring you in the face. You’re using a weak or aging machine, you have too many tabs open, you don’t really know how to use a computer or browser properly, or something is malfunctioning. I don’t know exactly what, because I’m not standing behind you watching this happen. But I can say with confidence that if someone were, the issue would probably be obvious and fixable in a few minutes.

The real problem isn’t the technical glitches. It’s that your first instinct is to jump straight to counterintelligence plots and deliberate interference instead of basic, boring explanations. That’s where this stops being about computers and starts being about your state of mind.

And yes, I know what you’re going to say. That this is just my “brainwashed colonized middle class brain” talking. You tend to dismiss anyone who disagrees with you that way. But at a certain point, that deflection stops working.

Others have already told you this, and they were right. You should go to a hospital and talk to someone who can actually help you. That’s not an insult. That’s the only constructive advice left at this point. In the meantime, the best anyone here can do is keep pointing you in that direction.
