disclaimer: no one cares. i get it. *pats on hed gently* so something i wrote was kind of sticking in my memory, like, bothering me: this grip of twenty-five (25) fascists are all beer buddies and they get together after work and complain about jewish people at the beer garden -- #02623073 @ 128033 after the marbles fumbled around, it was: oh! the beer hall putsch. hitler's failed coup, early on. literally just warming up his chops mobilizing drunk people. that's not my point, even though it is, like... wow, yeah... jan 6 was trump's beer hall putsch... i was thinking about the beer hall mentality. a place to get together after work and say all the shit you want to say, but... there are other people all there too, venting, and they're your buddies; you don't to offend them. that this is the "i'm cutting loose" time/outlet, and people can kind of be trained to hold back, even when they're cutting loose. then they're fired up and drunk, and they have this nice mechanism where you can play on their insecurities and put all sorts of nonsense in their heds, but then use the mechanic of "this won't be acceptable to your buddies" to flush out any existing behavior not to your liking. anyways, my question is: is that how a subreddit works? |

haha! epic there's millions of you on reddit easily fifty million midwit narcissists bloviating into the ether every one of them thinking that someday their posts will be unearthed and pored over like sumerian tablets "wow this guy compared jan 6 to the beer hall putsch. what vision" so yeah this is how a subreddit works |

no, you got the wrong part a place to get together after work and say all the shit you want to say, but... there are other people all there too, venting, and they're your buddies; you don't to offend them. that this is the "i'm cutting loose" time/outlet, and people can kind of be trained to hold back, even when they're cutting loose. then they're fired up and drunk, and they have this nice mechanism where you can play on their insecurities and put all sorts of nonsense in their heds, but then use the mechanic of "this won't be acceptable to your buddies" to flush out any existing behavior not to your liking. is that how a subreddit works? |

it actually has elements in common with... heck, it is a few charaprapghs in the sentences bon rainwashing The first step, once the victim is inside the territory (commune), is to begin isolation by cutting off all communication with the outer world and its conflicting reality-tunnels. Meanwhile, a parental-protective atmosphere is quickly created (sometimes called "love-bombing") and food is provided. |

At this point a certain amount of arbitrary nonsense is of great value. That is, the new reality-tunnel or symbol-system (like the old one) should contain pitfalls (gross violations of previous reality tunnels and common sense) so that the subject can be accused of backsliding (being "all wrong," after all) and thereby incited to try harder to become part of the new reality-tunnel. Thus, Jehovah's Witnesses may not accept blood transfusions, even if their life depends on it: harder still (since all mammals have an instinct to protect their young) they must reject blood transfusions for their children, even if the children die of this neglect. A Roman Catholic woman may not be divorced even if her husband comes home drunk every night, beats her up and gives her VD. In the U.S. Marines, a recruit who commits the hideous crime of calling a rifle a "gun" must walk around the base with his rifle in one hand and his penis in the other reciting to everybody he meets, "This is my rifle/This is my gun/This is for fighting/This is for fun." Theosophists were once required to believe that there is a hole at the North Pole going down to the center of the earth; Manson required his followers to believe the hole was in the Mojave Desert. Nazi Party members were asked to believe that the lion is an Aryan animal and the rabbit non-Aryan. Etc. The neurological and sociological function of such "nonsense" (which makes the Rationalist gasp in shock) is to sharply segregate those within the new reality-tunnel from those outside. This makes for group solidarity, group-reinforcement, and a strong sense of alienation and discomfort when on rare occasions it is necessary to talk at all with those outside the brainwasher's semantic system. The group must ensure, of course, that this alienation is experienced as "superiority." Those who are outside the reality-tunnel must be perceived as "all wrong"—just as the subject was, before being brainwashed. |
