Internet abuse from sjw/pro life ppl have a lot in common with the tactics of my narcissistic abusive father. Both of them: *Insisted the issue was with you, never admitted vulnerability or fault ever *Validated your experience ONLY if you adhered to their rules (cont)

*Focused on performative obedience as a sign of submission; it doesn't matter what you actually mean, it matters if you signal submission *Assume you are default wrong/sinful (privilege, original sin), and you can never truly atone

*Your identity and role determines how much respect you get (you are a child/cis, you don't get to have an opinion) *If you don't 100% adhere, then your words are deliberately interpreted in the most unflattering way possible *Tries to hurt you (getting you fired, beatings)

*Anything you say to try to demonstrate you're not a bad person is just more evidence of how bad you are *Will absolutely, never, ever, show vulnerability, humanness, admit weakness or wrongdoing, clinging to outside validation as support (church, "everybody agrees")

I ended up completely cutting ties with my father because anything I used to try to communicate with him was just twisted into a weapon. I feel similarly about certain internet mob subcultures - they're using the exact same tactics and the only answer is to block.

And like, this isn't an issue with the content itself - I'm not saying that this means my father's arguments were wrong, or that the SJWs aren't making good points - I'm saying the process they're using to go about it is about dominance, not about communication.

Sjw and conservatives deal in absolutes (much like siths). No discution can take place. It would seem like questioning their argument is a direct attack, and discussing in the abstract realm of ideas is regularly brought down to critics about personal life.

"Don't question the narrative"... From the trans side I think this is necessary to hold together the tenuous coalition between feminists who have a religious belief in literal sex equality and those who understand trans to be a brain intersex condition but know they can't say so.
