🧵 The CNN piece on Bongino and Patel is one of the clearest real-world examples of a key phenomenon in disordered discourse:
The agents who stoke it can become its victims, especially when their disordered discourse meets the reality of the institutions it captures.

In 2023, Dan Bongino, star podcaster, demanded to know: "What the hell are they hiding with Jeffrey Epstein?"
In 2025, Dan Bongino, FBI deputy director, disappointed the 2023 version of himself. "I have reviewed the case. Jeffrey Epstein killed himself," he wrote yesterday.

Also a problem: while only spinning this disordered discourse’s nefarious web of lies and deceit, no one, not just the duped, don’t believe, your “truth.”
The cult goes bonkers.
A rational person would come to the logical conclusion that they are, in fact, still lying.
🦇💩🤪 conspiracy theory offered by a 🦇💩🤪 moron, proved to himself that he's a f'ing 🦇💩🤪 moron.
The files were so damaging to him they are either being destroyed (most likely) or hidden somewhere so deep they’ll never be found.
i sure as hell don't base that conviction on dan bongino yay or nay
“Once again the incompetent leadership at the FBI has resulted in another terror attack…” should be a daily headline.
Can anyone name ONE ?
Trump told us to leave the Epstein files alone or else……..
It's all Wilhoit on steroids now
Have you read much philosophy or are you just inventing it for yourself, like a kid making up his own Kung Fu in the backyard?
You cultivate belief through suspicion, innuendo, and "just asking questions"—but once belief ossifies into doctrine, even truth becomes betrayal.
Trust inversion (external truth rejected, internal narrative exalted)
Doctrine enforcement (beliefs policed from within)
Feedback loops (radicalism rewarded, doubt punished)
