A narcissist taking something away and then giving it back is a common manipulative tactic used to control their victim[s] by creating a cycle of dependence & uncertainty.
Its in every video about Trump getting thanked by the platform.
Hi liberals, quick question, who signed the tik tok ban into law?
look, who built the cages isn’t important. wait, I’m reading from the wrong card.
The thing where libs need to pathologize actions by the state as tho it were their shitty ex doing it is maybe my number one pettiest grievance with them. I can’t fucking stand it lol
It’s like they utterly refuse to expand their heuristics and insist that reality be compressed down to their level of comprehension
It’s cool as hell thar liberals have weaponized therapy speak in order attack others, manipulate people and avoid self reflection. It’s dressed up ableism and also a more clear cut abuse tactic than what they’re trying to pin on Trump here. Also they actually are doing the thing, Trump wasn’t part of the taking away as far as I’m aware.
I hate armchair therapy talk so much
This is the Democratic strategy for abortion rights though.
no they’re fighting really hard to keep them trust me you just don’t know them like i do
i hate that people call anyone they dont like a narcissist
we love demonizing those with mental illnesses, i guess
“Empaths vs narcissists” is just Calvinism for people who say they’re not religious, they’re spiritual. I will not elaborate.
Manicheanism for the new millennium
Yeah, narcissists are villains, and definitely not people suffering from some form of illness who need support and care to cope with that illness. /s
And we should totally use this as a thought terminating cliché, so we can slurp more slop. Instead of reading or thinking.
I mean it’s also confirmation bias, right? The narcissist that doesn’t abuse you is never identified by their friend/family as suffering from NPD unless they disclose, and why would they with all the stigma?
The only narcissist I’m personally aware that I’ve met IRL was my abuser.
Everyone is a narcissist except me
Hundreds of years later and western ideology is still just “people are just born inherently good or bad therefore we have to make sure the good guys™ win” and they think they are so much fucking smarter and more progressive than everyone else. Fuck you chauvinist white supremacist pigs
new site tagline please
“A narcissist taking something away and then giving it back is a common manipulative tactic used to control their victim[s] by creating a cycle of dependence & uncertainty.”
You’re talking about the ruling class as a whole, right?
I do think we should retire maybe later kiddo. That video was annoying as hell for sure but they’re a relentless advocate for Palestine now and have basically fully dropped the Dems.
I have mixed feelings on this, I don’t know how to format this coherently sorry, but I am interested to hear what people think about this.
I think it is pretty reasonable to extend grace to someone who has changed.
At the same time some of this is (like art) something that exists independent of the creator at this point .
I only know anything at all about them because people on this site mention they’ve changed since that video. That’s great, but I also feel that tracking people/posters to determine whether you can reference stuff is not a reasonable behavior in a number of ways.
I mean I get it, but it was years ago.
I’d hate to be known for my worst take ever for the rest of my life, personally, this is why it’s good to avoid being internet famous I guess.
I think if were doing the whole solidary thing, we should remove the emoji. Continuing to use the emoji after they have changed is a good way to alienate them, us, or both. One of the tags you can use to search it is ‘fascist’.
I say that not because I ever think they’ll find this site and discover we have an emoji of their face, but to establish a kind of protocol to ensure we don’t repeat offend. I don’t know. It just seems like the right move.
And I haven’t looked them up to confirm their stance, but I’ll take it on faith for now.
Removing the emoji in general and certainly the tag seems reasonable to me. I know the emojis are fun but I think they inherently lend themselves to bad faith communication
Wait…those aren’t just stock photos? Who are those two?
You don’t want to know
me and my friend
We always have this guy
redemption arc when?This one too
Huh, I did not know that. We should make a thread in !emoji@hexbear.net. Do you happen to have links to their socials?
@TheLepidopterists@hexbear.net I made a thread in emoji@hexbear.net about the maybe-later-kiddo person. https://hexbear.net/post/4313486
If you have their socials you could post them there and I’ll edit them into the post
I don’t personally follow them and didn’t have them, but I see you located them.
Who signed the ban fuckers
Reminds me of those local news affiliates all reading the same shit verbatim
this is extremely dangerous to our tiktokracy :,(
Removed by mod
Hexbear is down too much for me to be dependent on it
people these days are just walking around looking at their screens all the time i mean am i at the gay sex store or is this the dang zombie apocalypse???
Everything in the universe is just like your toxic family members actually
Totally not a cult of personality where liberals have parasocial relationships with politicians. That’s North Taiwan Gorge Orbshell 1884 Titanium Triangle!"
Verbatim, too? That’s fun
Square brackets and everything. Its wild.
Is there some Occam’s razor explanation for it that isn’t “they all got it from the same place and copy pasted it”
Yeah, I don’t think they literally had a meeting. The ideological pool they all wade in is so shallow that the only thing they know how to do is parrot. No analysis, just pure reaction. Also, they love wrapping this stuff up in this therapy, abuse language for some reason. Donald Trump has more material motivation then narcissistic motivations. TikTok was banned under a Democratic administration, and courted the incoming Republican administration to keep their shareholders happy. That’s just capitalism.
Taking something away and then saying someone else did is also a common manipulative tactic.
