But there is truth to it.
The unbridled imagination and exploitation of frontal lobe (viral FOMO) undermines the ability to combat the true nature of the oppressor.
Detachment from observable reality supports the populist mandate the oppressor enjoys.

In this process we swap the tools of objective discovery + observation for gut feelings + social sentiment.
Our interpretive minds coax us into a lull of self-pleasing thoughts.
With less externality, we fold in on ourselves, empowering ego Über Alles.
By over-advocating everyone’s ‘evidence-less opinions’, the demand for common rubrics of understanding is (artificially) suppressed.
This weakens the institutions we maintain; regardless of how they are organized (public, private, intentional, anarchic..)
The iterative + cumulative impact is a destruction of critical thinking in the individual, and a deference to the prevailing current; a manifestation of loneliness.
This is exactly the sort of nihilistic mentality espoused by the protagonist of the OP.
