I assume not the Amy Carlson from Law & Order: Trial by Jury. jk, I am pretty sure I've read about this woman before.

I just don't understand being a devoted follower of anyone.

I mean, stanning is human nature at this point in our atomized culture landscape. People worship celebrities, sports teams, politicians, internet streamers, etc. Wanting to place your hopes and dreams in someone else is pretty common

Oh, intellectually I understand that people are unfulfilled and try to fill the hole in themselves with meaningless worship of everything from gods to, as you said, internet streamers. But that doesn't change that I simply do not understand it as a person because it's like drinking seawater.

As an extremely cynical person, I don't get it either. I legit trust no one which is another problem really lol.

Same though.

Yeah, not saying I’m above falling for a cult but they all just look so unglamorous. Like why are we living in a trailer if the cult leader is a god?
