There are regional differences but for the most part yeah, all rightoids are like this. The reason why burger rightoids seem to have lost the plot recently is because of DDR’s meteoric rise and fall. The rise made them feel like they didn’t need to hide how they felt anymore and the fall caused them to become unhinged. Its going to get even wacky once 2024 rolls around.
I'm in Europe (Spain), and no. Not that they're better. Their conspiracy theories are a bit less prevalent, and centered on other stuff anyways. Also, never heard lolbertarian concepts like "statism" or anyone being able to bear arms.
They complain about the disintegration of the family, lack of respect for the catholic church, queers trying to normalize their behaviors, immigrants stealing jobs or wallets, feminists overreaching, not being able to have laissez-faire capitalism... But their main complaint is that Catalans still exist.
This has less to do with rightoidsm and more to do with the fact American conservatism has fully merged into the conspiracy world.
Most people are conspiracy theorists to some extent and suppress it.
What happens when your political leaders create a permission structure by endorsing said conspiracism is you end up with weird political cults like this and the mainstreaming of figures like Alex Jones and the like.
Fringe American conservatism has always been flirting with some really unhinged conspiracy bullshit (see akrancide and the drama of the 1990s.)
But as time went on and the establishment GOP started leaning more and more on creating a siege mentality within the conservative base the conspiracism started to fully take over the party.
This culminated in a very unhinged Donald Trump beating a bunch of very serious Republicans in a primary, against the will of the establishment.
A TL;DR might be the conservative establishment played with fire and lost control of said fire.
On a less insane note I lost my job a few months ago, went to a shrink and got diagnosed (https://archive.is/wip/ZcGj5) with autism and ADHD (along with a 129 IQ), and since then a lot more stuff has been making sense. A common symptom of undiagnosed ADHD is excessive shitposting and drama seeking to the detriment of your personal growth and ability to maintain relationships or get ahead at work (or in my case keep a job). As Pizza said, there's literally no better feeling than BTFOing retards online (I can't find it, so maybe it was on pizzashill v1, but here's a consolation prize https://archive.is/k6zyE), and the frantic (almost compulsive) search for academic or journalistic sources really taps into both the autism and ADHD.
ADHD impairs executive function, and it's not that you can't focus, it's that you can't choose what to focus on (https://archive.is/wip/FiOHC). Imagine if you could just log off and learn to code or something instead of going on a two hour search for the best and most complete arguments on how and why Orange Man Bad in some particular way(or whatever drama of the day is going on).
I've come to a sense (which may just be pure protection), that the entire internet is not only infested with autism (every fucking knows that and it's unironically a good thing. Death to all normies, reeee), but undiagnosed and untreated ADHD. And, as many others have pointed out, many sites are almost designed to exploit these kinds of people and addict them.
I should probably seek therapy and try drugs, and if you are reading this you probably should too.
As a side note, I got my job back, so I'm fine.
Edit: my autism/adhd has compelled me to waste the last hour searching for links to some of pizzashills greatest hits. Let me know if anyone else remembers a time when pizza came out and said that dunking on retarded internet users was literally the greatest feeling on earth and post an archive link.
I can't take the drugs because Adderall suppresses my apatite and I'm skinny enough already so I have to use coping mechanisms. They're not as effective. I wish I could take the drugs

Are everyone's rightoids like this, or is burgerstan just special?

Literally every conservative is like this. Most are just quieter.

Honestly I have complaints that the Catalans still exist too.
Lolbertarians don't seem to be popular in Europe, historical European always seem to have strong governments. Maybe besides some of the city states

Blatant rightoid agendapost: comments are all mocking the subject. Leftoids in the thread heavily downvoted
Blatant Leftoid agendapost: 50/50 split between mocking the subject and rightoids asking “where is the drama”
1 Spysix 2021-03-30
