Abusive relationships, totalitarian states, cults, capitalism, the structure of education, corporations, the worship of youth and beauty, gender roles, most institutions, such as prisons, schools, hospitals - all of these are power structures, which take the form of endogroups.

Traditionally a cult had a very different meaning which is why it shares a root with the word culture. but with the word cult the way it is used today, yes, that’s a specific type of endogroup. The same structure can scale all the way down to two people or all the way up to the world.

The best way to block this is to stop the initial identification and guilt transfer that creates a negative image. The identification in the US has been accelerating for decades. Complete impunity for crimes at the top has also been increasing for decades.

In times when endogroups are strengthening because the endo-ideal wants to accrue power, persecution of the negative image increases. The dominant endo idealisms in the US - citizenship, wealth, health, industrial, white, male, etc., each have their own negative image and they will all be targeted.

More of a tactic of anyone who wants to establish a dominant relationship, whether that is between two people or at a state or global level. The tactics and roles remain the same - it just scales up. The ‘con’ Is getting everyone to accept the shared group endoreality.

From two angles, yes. Nearly every working environment is an endogroup which is exhausting and draining for the negative image -employees. In Abstracting Divinity I talk about it much more specifically, what is happening at the level of interactions and how to block those interactions and replenish.

Hello, all you lovely new followers! I’m spending most of my time curled up writing books, and trying to overcome social media PTSD from years ago so I’m not on here often, but I will check back and answer anybody that talks to me. I appreciate you being here, that was a very cool surprise! xox

A great week to be talking to the US about endogroups! They’re hard to see when you’re inside them and the whole world is dividing into very entrenched endogroups again.

The first question is the one I came here to answer. "Bluesky is great, do we still need Getgee?" Yes we do, Bluesky and G are very different and used for different purposes. There is a lot of explanatory material in the link in my bio. foreignpolicy.com/2024/08/27/b... bsky.app/profile/jay....

Bluesky is a personality focused, broadcast platform for public data We need an information focused, broadcasting platform with application agnostic, decoupled data. This is what we don’t have. This is what G is. 👇 georgiebc.wordpress.com/2017/04/14/m... More georgiebc.wordpress.com/code-will-ru...

Sorry to be super slow to follow back this time - I've learned the hard way that who I follow can and will be held against me if they turn out to be bad guys. I'll follow as I get to know people.

Wow, hi everyone! I was not expecting that! I am going to come back later today and answer some questions from people - would you like to add any? (I don't have time to recreate @georgiebc because I am writing long form right now but I can answer questions and post some content if you want me to.)
