 In a more mundane explanation, it uses elements of psychology n torture to control ppl as children, creating psychological mindstates that can then b accessed thru manipulation of words. 
 Okay that's F'd up.  
 It rly is! It’s… actually p tragic, n now that I’m not being censored n having an actual convo w someone, it’s making me wonder if I shld create a series on this, I have compassion for everyone involved (bc it’s all so complicated). 
 Do it! Practically everyone on the internet knows some crazy stuff is going on, but all we have is speculation. If you shed light on it, maybe we can shut it down 
 It’s… not abt shutting down so much as it is abt… recalibrating. Finding alternative ways to create order n meaning out of chaeos. Shutting down trafficking, yes, we def want that. But we need to do it differently than we’ve been doing it. 
 Loll I spelled chaos like my name oops. 😅 
 What kind of recalibration would you suggest? This is already far beyond anything I know.  
 I think it requires an honest convo abt these practices, what they entail, why they exist, n how humanity has been (sometimes quite literally) hoodwinked into believing in a much more black n white morality than is beneficial for a thriving society.
