>Using an analogy: If I believe that society sees those with tan skin as being more valuable and successful, and I spray tan in order to match that appearance, then I am delusional? (Regardless of whether I sincerely believe my spray tan is believable or not)
If you sprayed your skin purple and think it is tan, that is delusional. If you didn't spray your skin at all and now magically believe it is now tan, that is delusional. If you believe your fake tan is natural, that is delusional.
>I mean, you specifically pointed towards the "left" in particular, multiple times... Whatever.
And? That's not the claim you made earlier.
>We're talking about observing someone that's claiming to be persecuted...
> If you sprayed your skin purple and think it is tan, that is delusional. If you didn't spray your skin at all and now magically believe it is now tan, that is delusional. If you believe your fake tan is natural, that is delusional.
Good. So we understand there's a difference from a delusion and one branding themselves.
> And? That's not the claim you made earlier.
It was queried a couple times.
> Yes, we can observe delusional people.
Good. Maybe you understand the difference between someone whom is actually being persecuted and someone whom is suffering from a delusion. I'm glad you got there!
>Good. So we understand there's a difference from a delusion and one branding themselves.
If you "brand" yourself a victim and believe it, that is a delusion. You are arguing a difference without distinction and agreeing with me because you don't understand the satire.
>It was queried a couple times.
Go back and read your original claim and stop moving goalposts.
>Maybe you understand the difference between someone whom is actually being persecuted and someone whom is suffering from a delusion.
Maybe you understand the difference between someone whom is actually delusionally "branding" themselves as a victim and someone whom is actually being victimized. I'm glad you got there!
That's the linked satire, satirizing delusional leftists who "brand" themselves as "victims". Notice the " brand" in quotes above. QED.

Yes, we can observe delusional people.
