Co-opted
Hym "This ☝️ is what 'Co-opted' means in the context of what I said. That's what you're doing and YOU SAY YOU ARE DOING IT. In saying that 'The modern conceptualization of sanity as an internal quality is wrong.' You're effectively saying that the general consensus is wrong and that YOU are correct. That's called diverting to a role different from the original one. It marks a change in the conceptualization of sanity BROUGHT ON BY YOU SHIT-HEAD. God you motherfuckers are dumb! "
