    I heard a guy with a theory that it’s all kayfabe and it makes so much sense. They know it’s a lie and they believe it because it’s more satisfying than reality.

      The only ones I’ve heard using that term were equally nuts Marxist leninist. Not a good term or a good Association unfortunately.
