As someone who likes to throw around similar phrases, "oligarchical anarchy" is a new one for me.
If I were to attempt to parse that phrase, I'd say it must be a relative of "anarcho-tyranny". As such, it would refer to a society with no official ruler(s), but an intact spoils system or entrenched protections for a small number of elites.
Really, I think they're just slapping words together hysterically.
Yup... Hence "broke their brains."
Remember Shawn Baker said something like this a while back, all these people having nutrient deficiency from not eating enough meat for so long, and now their brains are broken.
Have seen zero evidence for that, but some such grand story kinda has to be involved to see people cognitively and intellectually malfunction like this

The grand story is that propaganda works and these people were victims of the biggest most relentless propaganda campaign in human history. They've been gaslit about damn near everything they believe (at least the things that are top of mind for them).
One of my favorite Jordan Peterson lines was about dishonesty and it was something like "When you try to twist reality to suit your ends, reality ends up twisting you, because reality is bigger than you are."
