Schaferman @brightmark.bsky.social · 02/06/2026After the other religions are dominated, it’s time to weed out the same colors/same religion people that aren’t as fundamentalistic as you… or maybe it’s time to get rid of those with less wealth? There’s always a difference, and a reason for some to feel superior 🥺 031
Schaferman @brightmark.bsky.social · 02/06/2026People that think they are superior don’t think all white people are superior! Skin color is just an easy way to determine who the “other” is. After dominating all the other colors of people, they then move on to having a superior religion to the others of the same color. 141

Schaferman @brightmark.bsky.social · 05/01/2026FWIW this is correct! I only check a few accounts regularly and I have regularly taken breaks when this interpersonal debate rears its head.

Schaferman @brightmark.bsky.social · 15/12/2025I’d see it as a massive show of appreciation of Tom. Generally people follow those that they feel in alignment with, that they respect. Tom has become misaligned on a topic that touches one’s emotions. So it’s a loss of a special bond. And his followers are crying out in pain 😫 020
