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)

*Black and white, good/bad thinking, with us/against us *Don't question the narrative - if a question is wrong or dangerous then it is bad and must be suppressed *If you disagree, that means you are morally corrupt, and perceived as a threat, not as discourse.

*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.

Well the SJW thing is strawmanned to death. Basically you're this whining/screaming person who hates any pushback or oposition while at the same time you believe in equity for people who are disadvantaged within society. Doesn't make sense tbh. (not you, you btw)

I think it does? Like, I consider religious communities to often be equivalent in toxicness to SJW communities, but they are very about "doing good" and "helping the poor" and "not lying" and stuff that are really actually good things.

But being pro really good things doesn't mean you're immune from falling into tribalistic, ingroup, thought-suppressing norms. Maybe it makes you more likely to do so, because you have "doing good" to justify your actions.

There is almost always room for a discrepancy between what we aim to accomplish and the results of our actions.
