i actually feel bad after looking at their blog. getting out of a cult and then joining a hate group doesn't sound like a fun life

@jenlog - it’s something that happens depressingly often tbh. 

when you get out of a cult- especially if you were born in it-  you are scared. you have a big gaping void in your life that the cult used to fill. you have lost your moral compass and you don’t know what to believe in.  and you are still covered in Cult Stank- you are used to being told what your beliefs Ought To Be, that you’re nothing without a particular ideology, and that you need a high-control group telling you what to do so that you can Choose The Right.

cult leaders, and wannabe cult leaders, are real, real good at smelling Cult Stank. they’ll often go after people who just left a cult or a hate group and try to sucker them in. so you get people leaving cults and going straight into another cult because they feel like they need their moral compass dictated for them. hell, it nearly happened to me- after leaving the Church I got involved with a pagan spiritual group that was... messed up. fortunately i’m selfish enough that I managed to get my ass out when things got ugly, but if I was a little less good at protecting my own boundaries? 😬😬😬

exmormon afab people are particularly vulnerable to TERF and misandrist radfem bullshit. if you’re exmo and afab, you’ve grown up your entire life being told that amab men get to have THE POWER OF THE PRIESTHOOD and wield the LITERAL POWER OF GOD, and you get to be a womb with legs, and this is in no way an unfair arrangement. it... makes you justifiably salty about sexism and misogyny. 

cultural appropriation

and they say we don’t value historians

But so many images have already been lost ...

If we want to preserve our culture, we will have to go back and rebuild the archive. Who will bear that burden? What noble soul will do the painstaking work of taking screencaps of animated feet? 

there are more than a few jewish people on this list, as well as a vocally anti-fascist historian

what does it mean if you go in wearing nothing at all

  is it any coincidence that “pink” floyd’s dark...
