One of the most important things I've learned from personal experience:
If you want to save people from a cult, you don't accuse them of the same crimes as the cult leaders.
You first understand how they are being victimized, you treat them as people, you connect with their humanity, and then and only then can you have any hope of saving them from the cult.
Remember, they have been told by people they trust YOU are the enemy. If you go in with guns blazing, you're just proving the point.
@JKxZ I get this.
I was in the MAGA Republican bubble. Some very dedicated friends helped me eventually get out of it.
My family is still in it, and they've gotten so hateful, sometimes even towards me because I left.
It's really hard to deal with it all and I'm ashamed to say I was a part of it.
I've been posting a lot about what it's like inside the red bubble and "information prison" and the algorithms that reinforce it.
I keep trying with my family, because if I don't, who will?
I got into a very heated argument on Facebook with my family before I quit it.
I started to see how the cult of the right was influencing and shaping my family member’s opinions with constant memes, dog whistles, and confirmation bias on FB.
When I challenged them to question WHY they reposted content that didn’t agree with the person I knew them to be, they lashed out.
They argued I was telling them they weren’t “smart” enough to form their own opinions.
That’s when I knew we were lost.
Jaron Lanier is the proverbial canary in the coal mine.
I watched the Netflix movie Blonde last night.
Ana de Armas portrayal of Marilyn Monroe was interesting . The story was well told, despite being too unflinching and often inaccurate.
The biggest problem was the directing and editing. It felt like Great Value Stanley Kubrick and did not work at all.
Donald Trump’s lawyer Alina Habba gave a bizarre interview on right-wing media where she said it was ‘unconstitutional’ to say negative things about Trump during Thanksgiving dinner. MeidasTouch host Ben Meiselas reports. https://youtu.be/KVM4LJckvwc

@JKxZ so true. And while you’re in detox, detoxing, you have this realization “holy shit, I’m detoxing… from an addiction” and that may or may not have occurred to you earlier. Some people might be thanking Ewok right now :)
The news stories about minimum wage hell holes whining about not being able to operate because they can’t hire enough staff is getting so tiresome. What, no one wants to work for unlivable wages, in a job where they are treated like crap by customers and the boss. Really? Imagine that. As a former min wage worker, I guess they still think this is recession 2008 where they can treat people like garbage and pay them scrap.
Corporate America really needs to wake up.
