The empowerment found in looking after each other is the empowerment of all good movements – there is no need, ever, to leave a single soul behind. Good movements sustain themselves with big imaginations for good now’s and good futures [.] I don’t want to go back in time, I know we can do better, and that a good future is coming. We will make it so.

@melunaka This is genuinely a cult at this point, that whole subculture is wild. I guess this is how flat earthers and such 'communities' started. It's genuinely interesting to see these developments from the outside "live", it's a fascinating window into how cults work and how unresolved trauma turns into obsession and a denial of reality in favour of a mental construct that gives some degree of control and comfort.

@lianna @melunaka when you say "this is genuinely a cult," do you mean COVID-cautious communities or COVID deniers?
