The greatest trick the Devil ever pulled, was convincing the world he didn’t exist

i stopped listening before this creep became a 'character' so maybe my fresh eyes enable a more accurate view. this guy is a borderline con artist. though he doesn't work at the con, his personality traits seem to hotwire the average person's brain to tap into the sympathy centers. he uses this to get free shit, take advantage of people, and in the case of his patreon, flat out lie to steal from people. and even after they figure it out and have the evidence fo him lying and stealing they still can't override that sympathy response. far from a disability, it's more like some kind of evolutionary strategy for survival within the human clan, and he uses it to full effect. it should be given its own name so gullible people aren't so easily manipulated by it
