Matt Dillahunty, besides being an atheist activist, is also a magician. At "The Unholy Trinity Reunion" he used the first 5 minutes of his session to do a magic trick. Watch here: youtu.be/S8tVJMJ3hO0?... (Link should start the video at the 1:21:23 mark) 🪄😄

The image is of a four panel comic.
In the first panel we see Sarah, the protagonist, next to a stick figure labeled “AI”. The stick figure says, “my outputs look just like yours now.”
The second panel zooms in on Sarah’s face. Above her we see text reading “I think”.
The third panel zooms in closer on Sarah’s face. Text above her reads “you missed”.
The fourth panel shows Sarah drawing happily in a sunlit room. The text above her reads “the point”.

In my experience, what many trauma survivors want, really want, is real, actual conversation. Not the kind of bullsh*t conversations prevalent in our culture, where one person is out to shape the behavior of the other. Connection without coercion. What a concept.

It's hard to overstate how many relationships in many CPTSD survivors' lives have been shot through w/ attempts to manipulate or coerce. It powerfully, painfully shapes our nervous system when we have no true place of safety outside of our own head-- & that's not our fault.

#CultPsychology #Cults #Jesus #Christianity "One of the most difficult things to understand about cults is that they rarely look evil on the surface. ... Most cult leaders recruit by being useful, not by being overtly sinister." Be Scofield, The Savior Complex www.goodreads.com/book/show/25...
Screendump of the following text from Be Scofield's book, "The Savior Complex":

"Growing up Christian, I was trained to view Jesus's healings as proof of his goodness. But cult reporters know better. Just like we ignore the glowing press release and audit the bank statements, we don't assume miraculous healings equal benevolence.

In the world of high-control groups, compassion is often just the ultimate 'freemium' model. You get the free sample of care, but the hidden subscription cost is your total submission. Community care is a highly effective customer acquisition strategy.

One of the most difficult things to understand about cults is that they rarely look evil on the surface. Jim Jones built his movement on including the outcasts, the marginalized, and the elderly. He set up robust systems of charity and care, providing genuine support to many people.

Most cult leaders recruit by being useful, not by being overtly sinister. To understand how, you have to put on a different hat—one that allows you to see the world slightly differently. In this version of reality, things like food, care, love, inclusion, healing, and health care can be used for nefarious purposes."

An underappreciated part of trauma recovery is discerning who is & isn't wasting our time w/ their "helpful" feedback & "support." Because not all feedback is helpful-- some can be quite toxic, actually-- & not all "support," no matter how well intended, is actually supportive.

They are pro KOSA, pro surveillance, and anti sex work. They call it “sexual exploitation” instead of sex work, because they’re SWERFs. REMINDER THAT CRIMINALIZING SEX WORKERS ENABLES SEX TRAFFICKERS. Any anti trafficking org that does not hold to this cares more about optics than safety.

Demand Accountabilty
Laws
Demand accountability laws in the context of sex trafficking refer to legislative measures aimed at reducing or eliminating the demand for commercial sex, which is the driving force behind sex trafficking. These laws target the individuals who purchase sex (the "demand" side) rather than just focusing on prosecuting traffickers or victims, and they seek to address the root cause of the trafficking by reducing the market for it.
Legislative initiatives to address demand across the U.S. include:
• Stiffer Penalties for Buyers:
• In some jurisdictions, sex buying is now a felony, allowing for more severe penalties and greater deterrence.
• Coditvino into the law mandatory finedScreen shot from World

The Survivor Model
=
We advocate for the Survivor Model (Equality Model), which seeks to decriminalize individuals who are exploited in the sex trade, while holding buyers, traffickers, and other bad actors accountable. This model centers the voices and needs of survivors, promoting safety, dignity, and opportunities for recovery.
This model has been adopted by a host of countries that have prioritized human rights and gender justice, including Canada, Ireland, Northern Ireland, Iceland, France, Israel, and Norway. Countries that have adopted the Survivor Model see success in holding sex buyers accountable, supporting more women in exiting the sex trade, and helping them rebuild their lives. For example, France enacted the Survivor Model in 2016, and within the first three years of the law taking effect, criminal investigations into pimping and trafficking increased by 54%.
Additionally, reported in 2023,

S. 1748: Kids Online
Safety Act (KOSA)
Big tech continues to prioritize profit over our children's well-being. The Kids Online Safety Act (KOSA) is the most comprehensive legislation to protect children online pending before Congress, aiming to shift Big Tech's profit-driven models to children's protection. KOSA creates a 'duty of care' that requires social media companies to place children's needs at the center of their design. This ensures minors are not exposed to harmful or exploitative material online by requiring that their accounts default to the safest privacy settings, disable private messaging from strangers, and shield them from addictive algorithms. It is time to give our children the protection they deserve; it is time to pass KOSA!
