Who’s “you faggots”? Who’s this description of PKD (a good one, in fact) meant to be in contradistinction to or brought up as a criticism of? The /pol/-kiddies? I dislike many of them, too, they’re often crude and silly and spiteful and vicious and egomaniacal. A significant faction of /pol/-posters (not necessarily even “significant” by numbers, I don’t know the numbers, and anyway who even knows how much of it all might be coming from Langley or [ironically] from Mossad or wherever, anyway) are anti-Christ. I’m not schizo-posting here and saying they’re the literal mythological figure of “the Antichrist” from the Book of Revelation, I’m using it in an even more literal sense that they’re against Christ, since Christ was (in bodily origins) Jewish; hence they also discount Christianity, and its origins in the former Hebrew religion, and by obvious extension would be prone to toss out Gnosticism, too. From them you get wonderful posts like “kike on a stick, fuck Jewsus”. Obviously PKD isn’t aligned with that.

It’s unfortunate that the stereotype that you must just be “another hateful demented /pol/ chud” because you bring up some kook beliefs is increasingly common. Or even if you make some (reasonable) criticisms, or have some reasonable suspicions, criticisms, even conspiracy theories about the way things are generally going in the modern world. Hail Eris, I guess.
