Matt Cropp 🌲🌲@rechelon This teases out a lot that I struggled with when I was younger. Thanks for your sharp analysis on this stuff, William :)
Antanicus@rechelon quite the question LOL
@rechelon "Authoritarian ideologies have always appealed to the most vulgar of our psychological needs. The twists and turns of their arguments are often ludicrous on the face because they’re not actually about intellectual persuasion, but emotional promises. The subtext is the point: We offer you community. We offer you power." THIS
Sonya@rechelon Why not an article about Junior Idols japanese culture? 🤐
Pietro Gagliardi@rechelon @KitRedgrave is it because of love? so love has blinded them?
