November 27, 2024: Our X/Twitter account (@threadreaderapp) got hacked and unrolls aren't working right now. We appreciate your patience until this is resolved.
I cannot put into words how much I hate predatory cults. We've done A LOT of work on learning the origins, how they work and the tactics they employ to take advantage of the emotionally vulnerable.
They all have the same piss stains on their underwear when we inevitably do the post-mortem after "it's too late." From Jonestown, to Branch Davidians to your neighbourhood Tupperware "Sales Consultant."
We need stiffer laws on this shit to thwart them.
The work we do at deanblundell.com to shine a light on them is just a drop in the bucket. Call them out. Loudly. Talk with your friends and family who are dipping toes into the fringe. If they aren't too far gone, YOU can make a difference here.
Rogers: Give me a call and I will help you sort this out. We will start by keeping you on hold for 55 minutes, transfer you 3 times and tell you to unplug it and plug it back in.
BREAKING NEWS
IT'S HAPPENING
UK PM Boris Johnson is resigning "imminently"

THREAD: If you think this can't happen here, let's meet Arnold Viersen MP (born May 3, 1986.) This fella is a Canadian politician who was elected to represent the riding of Peace River. Viersen attended Covenant Canadian Reformed School in Neerlandia from Grade 1 through Grade 12

Ready for what he had to say about #RoeVsWade today?
As this finally comes to a fun story arch, pay close attention to what happens with the trolling. It takes a few days to peter out, but it will.
Investment in narrative control peaks during heightened "activity."
Get your block finger ready. Then?
Like a fart in the wind...
It'll be back, but it will subside as this winds out. They know where the money is well spent.
What happened today? Not the arrests. Not the increased enforcement... I'll give you a second...
Trump and his merry band of idiots got called to testify in a civil trial. While there are a ton of resources to troll and push, they'll be focusing on that for a bit.
Canada's fake trucker circus might have to sit a spell. Bigger fish and all.
