*Insisted the issue was with you, never admitted vulnerability or fault ever
*Validated your experience ONLY if you adhered to their rules
(cont)
*Assume you are default wrong/sinful (privilege, original sin), and you can never truly atone
*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)
*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.
*Will absolutely, never, ever, show vulnerability, humanness, admit weakness or wrongdoing, clinging to outside validation as support (church, "everybody agrees")
I feel similarly about certain internet mob subcultures - they're using the exact same tactics and the only answer is to block.
