So I don’t really want to get into this, my note was about the structure of the argument rather than factual claims about the world. But...
I think I feel motte-and-baileyed? When I read your original comment with the term “feel persecuted” I’m like “eh, dunno, sounds plausible I guess?”. When I read it trying to substitute in the definition you give I’m like ”...mm, skeptical”.
Like I get that jargon sometimes just has that effect, I’m not currently saying you shouldn’t use that term with that meaning. But that’s my reaction.
(If you do want a different hook to use, it sounds like “feel persecuted, and also be clinically depressed” is tongue-in-cheek kinda close to what you describe? Though bringing in the concept of “depression”, and especially “clinical” depression, may not help see things clearly either.)
No, it’s definitely not about being depressed. That’s very far from it. But I also don’t want to argue about the claims here. Seems maybe beside the point.
I think I could reword my original argument in a way that wouldn’t be a problem. I just wasn’t careful in my languaging, but I personally think it’s fine? I think you might be reading a lot into my usage of the word “So”.
