Internet abuse from sjw/pro life ppl have a lot in common with the tactics of my narcissistic abusive father. Both of them:
*Insisted the issue was with you, never admitted vulnerability or fault ever
*Validated your experience ONLY if you adhered to their rules
(cont)
*Focused on performative obedience as a sign of submission; it doesn't matter what you actually mean, it matters if you signal submission
*Assume you are default wrong/sinful (privilege, original sin), and you can never truly atone
*Your identity and role determines how much respect you get (you are a child/cis, you don't get to have an opinion)
*If you don't 100% adhere, then your words are deliberately interpreted in the most unflattering way possible
*Tries to hurt you (getting you fired, beatings)
*Black and white, good/bad thinking, with us/against us
*Don't question the narrative - if a question is wrong or dangerous then it is bad and must be suppressed
*If you disagree, that means you are morally corrupt, and perceived as a threat, not as discourse.
*Anything you say to try to demonstrate you're not a bad person is just more evidence of how bad you are
*Will absolutely, never, ever, show vulnerability, humanness, admit weakness or wrongdoing, clinging to outside validation as support (church, "everybody agrees")
I ended up completely cutting ties with my father because anything I used to try to communicate with him was just twisted into a weapon.
I feel similarly about certain internet mob subcultures - they're using the exact same tactics and the only answer is to block.
And like, this isn't an issue with the content itself - I'm not saying that this means my father's arguments were wrong, or that the SJWs aren't making good points - I'm saying the process they're using to go about it is about dominance, not about communication.
