Thanks for reminding me to add this here! Wiki link from another lemmy user a few days ago I found incredibly helpful in reframing things from “right vs left” to a broader, less politicized view that just speaks to human nature: tolerance vs intolerance - https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paradox_of_tolerance

It took me a long time to recover from the cult I was raised in, too. Every time I think I’ve got it all out of my system, some new insight comes to light and shocks me all over again. Like reading Chris Hedge’s 2006(or 7, I forget) book Totalitarianism in America. It goes over how the Dominionism Cult my mom was in in the 90s started in the 70s and is behind the US’s current political takeover attempt.
Just keep educating yourself like you have been, and you’ll be alright 💜 Just don’t get down on yourself when more ingrained dogma pops up, be glad you noticed it instead!
I didn’t know that about the pasta water, thank you!
Just ordered this book, thank you for introducing it to me!
Their wording for the title, not mine! A lot of news here is still trying to act like this is all normal, with journalists who go against the administration being attacked. Definitely authoritarian. Totalitarian. Fascist. I’ve seen all three words used.

We’re having nationwide protests today called Rage Against the Regime, if that helps any. Some tiny amount anyways. They’re not talked about like the No Kings protests were tho. I’m assuming we’ll start protests every weekend at some point
But I like Googling British phrases, I want to talk like that! Watching My Oxford Year rn and have paused it like 5 times and I’m not even halfway through 😂

John Oliver did a segment on this, you can search his name and AI Slop on yt to see it. I didn’t realize how much fb was pushing it bc I haven’t used it in years, but wow, am I now extra glad I don’t use it anymore. And poor Pinterest, r.i.p.
