If you're mad or you don't have the patience or capacity or whatever right now, then that's fine, we've all been through a lot, but stop kneecapping the people who are ready and trying to help. Just keep the snide tweet in the drafts.

Nobody ever leaves a cult because you call them stupid, they leave a cult 'cause they get better information/helped into a better worldview

We seem to understand the power of this when it's indoctrination (the alt right pipeline, etc) but totally forget it when it's time to bring people to our side

I think anybody who lived under the firehose of misinformation that they live under would act this way. This happens with other cults - everybody believes that a cult would never work on them, until one day it does.

These people should be embraced and deprogrammed. It's the only path out of this.

I'm finding it easier and easier to hate MAGA leadership, and harder and harder to hate MAGA citizens.

I'm angry with them for voting to destroy our country. I think they're responsible for their actions. But I don't they're unfixable or somehow evil to their core.

It's satisfying, in a way, to believe half the country is just evil racists, because it makes the problem seem simple and digestible (in the same way conspiracy theories are satisfying), but I think most people want the right thing to happen and are simply lied to by a constant stream of lies.

Yeeeaaaah, or just like, not being so entangled that I can't put things down for a bit if I want, or I can hold back some personal info or whatever without being mean

A big part of why I can be pretty unabashedly and honestly horny and open about what I'm into is that you guys only exist in my phone. But that's pretty at odds with the desire to have and maintain ABDL friends! Tough circle to square

I dunno why anyone would think Trump's desperately trying to cover something up here, it seems perfectly reasonable to me, as a person who was recently lobotomized with a hammer

I gotta find some like "small enough to actually meet people and interact" servers that aren't just like, people's friend group server that I'm crashing lol, 'cause I've sorta had my fill of those experiences.

I had a medium-small ABDL gaming Discord I was keeping up with, but my Twitter kinda took off around the time I launched it, and I didn't know how to keep it open and receiving new people w/o it getting swamped or brigaded, and it sort of fell out of use.

Oddly enough, had a very similar thing happen a couple months ago. Some people are just profoundly selfish, and are willing to use you as a security blanket until they feel they don't need one anymore. Hope you know it doesn't reflect on you guys at all, it reflects on them.

I made a pact with myself at the start of this year to stop caretaking for friends for this reason, but it still kinda sucks to like, have to, and I still bump into people in social situations and gatherings that dredge up old weirdness and hurt feelings and it is not great!! Vent complete.
