Conpost
A specific instance of Conbait—a post that dismisses religious, spiritual, or metaphysical beliefs by framing the believer as either delusional or deceptive. Conposts often take a knowing, superior tone: "Oh honey, you actually believe that?" "Another grifter exploiting the vulnerable." "Congratulations on discovering basic pattern-seeking bias." "The psychic was reading your body language, not your future." The Conpost performs skepticism as cruelty, using materialist orthodoxy as a weapon against experiences it cannot explain and does not try to understand. It's not science; it's scientism as social aggression.
"I shared my experience of what felt like communication with a deceased family member. First Conpost: 'Congratulations, your grieving brain generated comforting hallucinations. This is basic psychology. Stop grifting vulnerable people.' They diagnosed my grief, dismissed my experience, and accused me of exploitation in one sentence. That's Conpost—skepticism as a cudgel."
