Off My Chest
RULES:
I am looking for mods!
1. The "good" part of our community means we are pro-empathy and anti-harassment. However, we don't intend to make this a "safe space" where everyone has to be a saint. Sh*t happens, and life is messy. That's why we get things off our chests.
2. Bigotry is not allowed. That includes racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, xenophobia, and religiophobia. (If you want to vent about religion, that's fine; but religion is not inherently evil.)
3. Frustrated, venting, or angry posts are still welcome.
4. Posts and comments that bait, threaten, or incite harassment are not allowed.
5. If anyone offers mental, medical, or professional advice here, please remember to take it with a grain of salt. Seek out real professionals if needed.
6. Please put NSFW behind NSFW tags.

What hurts most is watching them hurt themselves while pretending to come from the moral high ground. I'm not sure if it's a CIA pysop or what, but something just happens in someone's brain and it seems like they stop caring about reality as long as you give them somewhere to channel their hate. You did the right thing though. If we all stopped playing their bullshit game and refused to work with the people sabotaging the rest of us we'd have everything fixed in just a few years.
What we are seeing is no mass psyop, but fundamentals of human nature at work. Well exploited and wielded. Anyone and everyone subsceptible to it.
The "anticommunist" movements of the 20s (and then again in the 50s) certainly did a number on any actual leftist movement that might've existed in the U.S.
