I think being handed the apprenticeship wage and benefits sheet on my eval day and being told “welcome to a better life, you worked hard for it” altered my brain chemistry

Applying “why does he do this” interpersonal theory to the goliath machine of fascism somehow manages to render both less intelligible like 75% of the time. Are there similarities? Are a lot of these guys rank and file fascists? Yes. But this seems reductive in a way I can’t quite articulate yet

Hot take but I don’t think discussing fascism like this is useful actually

Weaponized gratitude is a key tool in the abuser's toolkit. The goal is to convince the victim that they owe the abuser so much, they should feel guilty for wanting to complain.

Tweet from the VP:
Joy Reid has had such a good life in this country. It's been
overwhelmingly kind and gracious to her. She is far wealthier than most.
Yet she oozes with contempt.
My honest, non-trolling advice to Joy Reid is that you'd be a much
happier person if you showed a little gratitude

Demanding anything else is just entitled toddler whining, except now you’re grown and everyone that loves you has the power to leave at any time

Atonement for your actions sometimes means that people will tell you to go fuck yourself despite your efforts to make repair. It is your responsibility and yours alone to sit with that if you actually care about being a different person than you were then

Becoming increasingly convinced that addicts know much better how to meaningfully address the bad shit they’ve done because they consistently seem to be the only group of people that can acknowledge that sometimes things stay broken after you intentionally work to destroy it
