Patriarchal religions convince children they're "flawed" from birth.
This gives "leaders" the control mechanism to dominate through fear.
That manipulation lasts long into adulthood by design.
This is child abuse.

Had this conversation a few days ago. This is the reason with any luck they will never talk to me again.

The burnout is real.
Just gonna act like there wasn't a massive technology outage in Texas the week of an important election?
Ok. Sure.
45 - 55 is not a victory. It's a stunt.

24.01.2026 18:06 β π 1 π 0 π¬ 1 π 0My favorite genre of anything (documentary, podcast, etc ) is: Two educated women talk about creepy shit.
It pops up in paranormal, true crime, horror, even political and historical productions and it's always the best
Same.

Do we really think they didn't just destroy everything that was inconvenient?
Yes it took awhile to get around to actually walking.

Great to see.

That is the essence of the NFL.
If you know anything about entertainment you know one person plays the hero and the other plays the heel.
And that...is the two party system. πΊπ²π

It's disguised as horror psychology.
When you encounter the evils of the world, it's bad.
When you understand why they exist in the first place....it's so much worse.
They can't take anything not willingly given. A lot of hard and unfair choices coming up. But...we should be used to that by now.
