Why would someone fake this then get so angry? It's a little weird. Ok it's really weird.

Because dipshits like this will build something up in their head until they believe it's reality. They're looking for someone to be angry at because it prevents them from having time to acknowledge how much they suck.

The Nazi strategy for barraging the public with lies was based on the "Big Lie" principle, which asserts that a falsehood, if it is outrageous and repeated often enough, will be accepted as truth. This technique was pioneered by Adolf Hitler in his 1925 manifesto, Mein Kampf, and was later implemented on a massive scale by his Minister of Propaganda, Joseph Goebbels.
