Institutions — schools, churches, workplaces, nonprofits — all run on the same hidden rule:
When something goes wrong, the system will #sacrifice a person before it will sacrifice its image. #scapegoat

Receptivity and reactivity are not moral categories — they are autonomic states.
But in narcissistic systems, especially Family #Scapegoat Syndrome and The Cult of the Ego, these states get morally inverted in ways that punish #survivors and protect the dysregulated.

A quotation from Olivia Butler
I wanted to understand the lies that people have to tell themselves when they either quietly or joyfully watch their neighbors ruined, spirited away, killed. Different versions of this horror have happened again and again in history. They’re still happening in places like Rwanda, Bosnia, Kosovo and East Timor, wherever one group of people permits its leaders to convince them that for their own protection, for the safety of their families and the security of their country, they must get their enemies, those alien others who until now were their neighbors.Octavia Butler (1947-2006) American writer
Essay (2000-05), “A Few Rules for Predicting the Future,” Essence Magazine

It's funny. Right now I'm not even talking about my personal experiences, but my hands are shaking and I'm finding it hard to type. My body is telling me that what I'm about to talk about is a pretty big deal. It's easy to see how this kind of biofeedback would encourage someone to stop. #scapegoat
