Feels good to be surrounded by a bunch of other brash surly societal fuck ups. There’s camaraderie in that. Unfortunately sometimes you run into dudes that make you want to beat them with a rock every time he opens his mouth

Again, it can have similarities, the actors can be the same, but seeing shit like “JD Vance is using rhetoric from the abusers toolkit” is funny when him and his compatriots want you dead

Using a set of guidelines that you can use to identify abuse in your personal relationships cannot be neatly mapped out to a whole state apparatus and movement that is specifically being engineered to disempower and kill you

What if I applied that mindset to other parts of my life instead of just seeing my set of circumstances as something that happens to me with no input

Applying “why does he do this” interpersonal theory to the goliath machine of fascism somehow manages to render both less intelligible like 75% of the time. Are there similarities? Are a lot of these guys rank and file fascists? Yes. But this seems reductive in a way I can’t quite articulate yet

Weaponized gratitude is a key tool in the abuser's toolkit. The goal is to convince the victim that they owe the abuser so much, they should feel guilty for wanting to complain.

Tweet from the VP:
Joy Reid has had such a good life in this country. It's been
overwhelmingly kind and gracious to her. She is far wealthier than most.
Yet she oozes with contempt.
My honest, non-trolling advice to Joy Reid is that you'd be a much
happier person if you showed a little gratitude
