That's the question. Are they dumb and mean it or are they just assholes? I also tend to think it's the second.

they're trying really hard to believe it, and seeing others struggle to achieve it validates them. they want to believe. they need to believe. but some part of them doesn't, or it would be kept on the down-low.
