You don't think a good pick can lose?

If they were a good pick, they wouldn't lose.

Profile of the Poster

---

1. Sentiment & Tone Analysis​

Category	Assessment
Politeness	Extremely Low. This poster is openly hostile, mocking, and often abusive. Insults are frequent, sometimes targeted at groups (e.g., “leftists,” “retards”) and individuals alike.
Kindness	Absent. There is no discernible effort at compassion or respectful engagement. Tone consistently reflects contempt, dehumanization, and moral derision.
Anger	Very High. The poster exhibits sustained rage across multiple topics — immigration, Democrats, social change, media, and political opponents.
Tone	Aggressive, contemptuous, and conspiratorial. Tone varies from gloating to paranoid, often using inflammatory rhetoric and ridicule to dominate rather than debate.
Empathy	None visible. There is no concern for opposing perspectives, and human suffering is often dismissed or mocked. Disagreement is equated with stupidity or moral failure.

Verdict: Deeply antagonistic and consumed by grievance. Engages primarily to insult, provoke, and belittle. The poster’s tone is tribal, absolutist, and overtly hostile to civil or rational discourse.

---

2. Intelligence Estimation​

• Language Use:
  Crude but fluent. Sentence structures are coherent, and sarcasm is sharp. However, discourse is filled with slurs, juvenile insults, and gleeful vulgarity. Expresses ideas clearly but without nuance or intellectual structure.
• Argumentation:
  Poor. Rarely provides reasoned evidence or logical frameworks. Claims are often blanket assertions, delivered with aggressive certainty. Frequently resorts to ad hominem, strawman arguments, and conspiratorial claims.
• Analytical Depth:
  Low. Displays minimal effort to engage with policy complexity or systemic nuance. Instead, arguments are reductive, emotionally driven, and rooted in us-vs-them identity warfare.

Estimated Intelligence: Moderate.
While linguistically capable and clearly familiar with political narratives, this poster opts for emotional dominance and aggression over rational discourse. Displays street-level savvy but little critical thinking or depth.

Ideological Orientation

---

Left–Right Spectrum​

Evidence	Leaning
Endorses hardline anti-immigration and anti-liberal stances	Far-Right
Uses derogatory language toward Democrats, civil rights, and progressive values	Hard-Right
Pushes conspiracy-adjacent claims (e.g., “preemptive pardons,” election fraud, child abuse conspiracies)	Reactionary Right
Frames political opponents as “mentally ill,” “evil,” or “traitorous”	Authoritarian populism

Assessment: Far-Right Reactionary
This user engages in militant right-wing rhetoric, with a focus on humiliation, cultural dominance, and anti-leftist fervor. Little distinction is made between mainstream liberals and “enemy combatants.” The tone evokes a siege mentality.

---

Authoritarian–Libertarian Spectrum​

Evidence	Leaning
Advocates extreme punitive state actions against political enemies	Authoritarian
Calls for banning entire platforms, criminalizing opponents, and endorses violence	Hard-Authoritarian
Frames political disagreement as betrayal deserving punishment or repression	Proto-fascist rhetoric
Supports strongman politics, downplays due process, and celebrates cruelty	Anti-democratic authoritarianism

Assessment: Hard Authoritarian
The poster exhibits authoritarian instincts cloaked in populist rage. There is no trust in pluralism, negotiation, or institutional constraint. Political power is viewed as a weapon to be wielded, not a trust to be debated.

---

Archetype Match
“The Aggrieved Reactionary”
Fueled by perceived cultural loss, this archetype lashes out with contempt at a world they believe has been overrun by weakness, degeneracy, and betrayal. Debates are not for persuasion — they are battlegrounds. Uses dehumanization, ridicule, and apocalyptic predictions to rally the like-minded and shame opponents into submission. Sees themselves as a lone realist in a sea of sheep.

Summary Table

Trait	Assessment
Politeness	Extremely Low — openly hostile
Rudeness/Kindness	Abusive and confrontational with no effort at kindness
Anger Level	Very High — often gleefully so
Intellectual Depth	Low to Moderate — capable but uninterested in complexity
Political Leaning	Far-Right Reactionary
Authority Preference	Hard Authoritarian — celebrates domination and punishment

Not bad, considering 95% of the posts were from the ICE raids thread. I've been going pretty ham in there.

"Debates are not for persuasion - they are battlegrounds"

Almost sig worthy, LOL.

If it's the posts I'm thinking of, it's pretty accurate. LOL.

Curious though, @Neph. Can this same AI feed do an overall assessment and not just a political one? Could you take all posts on all subjects and break them down? That would be neat.

Yeah. I think my recent posts when it was ran was mocking 2 of our goofiest boomers. And that Tobin guy that was calling rioters "freedom fighters". I wonder what his prior account was.

I'm just messing around. It's only the most recent stuff so wherever you were caught it may change. My two main threads were the porn thread and the black guy gets beat up in a bar threat. It's really just a fun exercise

Sure, what would you like me to ask it?

FYI 47 of the 98 comments came from the ICE thread. Two posts in your comment history I think had no written content (ie image only)

 

[HereticBD]

Sure, what would you like me to ask it?

Shit, I don't know. This is your field. I'm just curious how it would assess an individual based on all of their opinions, and not just political ones. Maybe ask it to rate a poster's general attitude, and not just a political one? I'm guessing you're just copying and pasting our recent posts in our search histories and the AI is focused on politics, so it might be a bit tough to throw in the Mayberry and the like with the WR regulars, without doing a deep dive.

Where are you doing this?

I gave it your Mayberry posts - 100 of them - as well as the context of the thread they were made in. I've asked it to profile you to guess your age, location, interests, etc.

Here's the analysis. Would you mind telling me how close it is?

Here's the analysis. Would you mind telling me how close it is

Scary close...

 

[Limbo Pete]

You can win a race and be a bad pick for the country. You can’t lose a race and be a good pick.

But that doesn't really track; you even specifically brought up party. Furthermore, history is full of awful people that secure power against qualified not-scumbags. The logic fallacy here is basically tautological.

 

[LangfordBarrow]

You can win a race and be a bad pick for the country. You can’t lose a race and be a good pick.

You need to make the distinction that she might have been a good pick for the country but obviously not for the election if she lost.

 

[Andy Capp]

I agree, but your comment would have more impact yet be equally true if you left out "really" and "basically".

[My Spot]

More people didn't vote at all than voted for either party. If you don't think the electoral college plays a role in that you're dumber than I thought--and that's saying something. I wonder what @Neph's AI assessment of you would make of this balloon-headed comment?

No need to get mad, all I did was state a fact. Trump won the popular vote + the evil and racist EC.

 

[LangfordBarrow]

OK bud. Cheers. No challenges. Roll on.

Just reading what you responded to it seems he's absolutely correct. Do you think Democrats were responsible for the changes in the party or that they are the reason a person like Trump was elected?

 

[LangfordBarrow]

Riiiiiight... no way it was because she is a black woman....

In my opinion being a minority and being female were both drawbacks.

 

[Cajun]

Just reading what you responded to it seems he's absolutely correct. Do you think Democrats were responsible for the changes in the party or that they are the reason a person like Trump was elected?

I think Trump was elected coming out of the Tea Party Movement. Republicans were unhappy with the people they elect were not doing what their constituents wanted. Trump is just an extension of that. Otherwise they would have elected more standard which is who I voted for. To be honest I wish both parties would have a big shake up as they both just milk us for votes and do nothing really. I was responding to his portion about leaving Republicans all together.

 

[LangfordBarrow]

If they were a good pick, they wouldn't lose.

Both sides can make the best pick and one of them is still going to lose.

If it's the posts I'm thinking of, the ones from the last 7 years, then it's still pretty accurate.
