There's some kind of awful toxoplasmosis life cycle thing going on with trauma and ideology. Trauma begets ideologies to make sense of it, and those ideologies form communities in which everyone is actually actively reinforcing each other's trauma, I think in several ways. Oof.

This is... an odd angle. For example, yes, queer people form communities because they can speak of and process their similar trauma together (and not elsewhere). It's a process of connection, as well.
