[US Pol: Stone Age]
@futurebird Might Makes Right is the core principle of authoritarianism. For those who have succeeded through life by intimidating, manipulating, and coercing others, this is their tested method of getting their way, so they feel justified in taking this position because […]
Christianity primed white people to feel guilty when certain Pavlovian bells ring.
Accused? Wrongdoing even subtly implied? Guilt! Shame!
Then, if it's a respected authority doing the implying (be it parent or priest), we're primed to submit.
If we don't respect the authority of the "accuser […]
I should add:
6. You're allowed to distrust anyone, for any reason, and you don't have to justify it. Even people you're close to.
If someone says "You don't trust me!" as an accusation, the best thing you can do is say, "Yeah, I don't trust you, not in this. If you want me to trust you […]
These thoughts are inspired by this guy on an old season of Project Runway, who started off giving red flags because he was badmouthing the other contestants. But he grew over the course of the show.
And I still don't like him.
He defied his initial red flags and is not an abuser at his core […]
A few lessons I learned from age and hard experience:
1. You are allowed to be offended.
2. You don't have to like everybody.
3. Not everybody has to like you.
4. Just because you dislike someone doesn't mean they're a bad person.
5. Just because someone doesn't like you doesn't mean you're a […]
[SA, harsh irreverent mockery of predators]
Predators think they're demonstrating their power when they prey on the vulnerable: little girls, neurodivergents, the disabled, the poor, generations of conditioned Christian women.
That doesn't seem very tough! Any of us could lord over a […]
The saying "cheaters never prosper" was written by cheaters who propsered.
This is the essence of abuse culture theory.
#AbuseCulture
It’s not just Americans. It’s regular, everyday people all across the globe who are being divided and pitted against each other to isolate and make them easier targets and tributes to be sacrificed at the alter of a centuries-old, paedophilic, sex trafficking, death cult.

[SA within cult contexts, Epstein, Rome]
Further, I recently watched bible scholar Dan McClellan talk about homosexuality in biblical times. It' a subject I have seen him and others talk about before, and I've read about it. (But I am not an expert on ancient history – I'm just repeating.) […]
[SA within cult contexts, Epstein]
I've recently commented on Epstein probably not being the first of his kind, that his market for sex victims already existed, and that the sexual abuse of minors and the marginalized as a recreational activity for the rich and powerful likely goes way, way […]
[SA within cult contexts, kink]
New paper on sexual conditioning within cults just dropped. This article sums up the paper for a lay audience.

I am so relieved that highly respected cult researchers are finally backing […]
Even in interpersonal stuff. Like in competition reality shows, two people on the same team will start bickering. "Well you need to pay more attention." "Oh yeah? Well you need to stop yelling at me."
Ok yeah. You definitely need to stop yelling, and the other one needs pay more attention.
FFS […]
The one conditioned manipulation trick I would change if I had a genie wish would be to remove "No but" thinking from every single person's head in the world, and replace with the ability to "Yes and." Like, take it all in. All of it, even the contradictory shit.
All of it is true and the […]
[Kubrick, Epstein, history, billionaires, SA]
I have very strong opinions on this topic as a researcher of power, abuse, cults, mass manipulation, for over twenty years.
This Epstein stuff is a culmination for me. It connects the dots of very real patterns I've both experienced and studied […]
[Epstein, history, billionaires, SA]
A YouTube video I saw last night (Benaminute) compared the American Gilded Age to today, in a hopeful tone, which was great. I learned a lot. (There's a non-zero chance my West Virginian ancestors were part of that labor riot, or at least knew of it and […]
Digging in to Season 3 of Secret Lives of Mormon Wives, and I've got to say, most of these women are extremely capable of growth, and it shows.
It's been good practice for me to test my ability to spot red flags of people who are genuinely toxic, and probably always will be, vs. those who are […]
Since the article is mostly ads and not worth clicking, and I can't even paste the link without the aggregator, I'll paste the whole thing for you. Via CNBC:
Psychology expert: The No. 1 phrase to shut down a manipulator—it changes 'the power balance'
Published Thu, Feb 12 2026 9:30 AM EST […]
This stirs a thought. About how we've been lol-saying, "Oh everyone wants privacy but then shares everything on social media. What a bunch of fools!"
And while it's true that we've been tricked into giving everything to them willingly, and that's worth considering, it skips over the deeper […]
…girls all over the country don’t stand much of a chance to ever hold their abusers accountable when #rapeculture #abuseculture exist so strongly here.
And now Pam Bondi stands in the way of ever holding these high-level abusers, traffickers, criminals, accountable for their crimes against…
And acknowledge society is sick and we’re all being held hostage by this global cabal of depraved abusers.
#AbuseCULTure #RapeCULTure
It’s not a theory.
It’s a real conspiracy.
It’s an abusers world, baby.
We just have the misfortune of living in it.
#AbuseCULTure #RapeCULTure
Yeah. It’s like the song says:
If her daddy's rich, take her out for a meal
If her daddy's poor, just do what you feel
#AbuseCULTure #RapeCULTure
Because those powerful people know if they speak up there will be consequences and their lives and reputations destroyed along with anything and everything they hold near and dear.
#AbuseCULTure #RapeCULTure
I have been saying this about chronic abusers for YEARS.
When are we gonna finally admit it’s an abusers world, baby? We just have the misfortune of living in it. You shut up and be their gimp or you pay the consequences.
#AbuseCULTure #RapeCULTure
"I don't recognize your authority."
#AbuseCulture
I try to curate more who I tell (despite being open about surviving abuse) BECAUSE I once shared the statistic with someone I thought a "friend" about 1 in 4 (usually girls) molested. He said to me that if it's that high, "it's part of nature." That made me wonder about HIS activities. #abuseculture
[US Pol: ICE lies]
@futurebird Abuser and fash logic is that if someone is a victim, they did something to deserve it, and it's morally right and a social good to revictimize them. DARVO is an instinctive response. This factoid will be persuasive to this type of person.
#AbuseCulture
Yeah. They’re afraid we’re coming for their CULTure:
Their #AbuseCULTure, their #RapeCULTure and their #DeathCULTure.
We should definitely judge moral ignorance.
We should not judge other kinds of ignorance.
