Philosopher's Nightmare

Any time you're witnessing a conversation spiral downwards and are able to identify the rhetorical techniques participants are fueling the descent with little hope of being able to recover from. Techniques include cherry-picking, generalizing, the moral high ground, appealing to fear or popularity, aggressive (including passive) behavior, explicit bias and persistent rambling with an intent to win over the other side. You're confident any contribution or attempt to help move the conversation forward will be ignored or met with immediate resistance and rejection.
That post on Facebook about gun control became a Philosopher's Nightmare with most of the participants attacking and distracting each other.

Gangstalking, andrenachrome moarch bullshit

adrenachrome is black hence the first stage deals with trauma done to someone

white part is the visualization done by the person who takes it
im guessing yellow is the calming stage of the subconcious cymatics,
and red altering the blood and heart attractions of the person who takes it

deals alot with subconcious voodoo and law of reversal shit based around the person whowants it
