Mx. Luna CorbdenEssentially that's what my <a href="https://defcon.social/tags/AbuseCulture" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#AbuseCulture</a> model does. It addresses those beliefs, not just within an individual survivor, but for all of us, in how we help abusers with our language, beliefs, preferences, in who we choose to defend, in our moral systems, in our laws and biases.I've taken what I've learned from my own abuse recovery and therapy of many years, my studies on psychology and trauma, but most importantly, from learning about cults, high-demand groups, coercive persuasion, and religious trauma recovery, and merged those into a unified theory.There really isn't much difference between domestic abuse and cult membership.And cult recovery involves deconstructing those beliefs, making yourself aware of them so that you can consciously choose which to keep and which to throw away.I've been out of Mormonism for 24 years, and I still find beliefs I have not been aware of this whole time. I've been away from my worst abuser for almost a decade, and still find beliefs he instilled in me that I have not yet examined.The undue influence techniques used by cults are almost identical to those used by abusers and manipulators. These techniques are used at the societal and political levels as well, and can also demonstrate how racism, sexism, etc all work.I can't tell you specifically which beliefs you have in you, but I can show you the purposes they serve... there will be beliefs about who you can and cannot trust, what you should be afraid of, what punishments await you for misbehaving, and a couple dozen others. Knowing that framework can guide you through discovering your own induced phobias, milieu control, and thought-terminating clichés.(Brief plug for my book, Recovering Agency, which outlines 31 manipulation techniques in context of Mormonism, but that can be applied elsewhere.)<a href="https://defcon.social/tags/ReligiousTrauma" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ReligiousTrauma</a> <a href="https://defcon.social/tags/Abuse" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Abuse</a> <a href="https://defcon.social/tags/PTSD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#PTSD</a> <a href="https://defcon.social/tags/CPTSD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#CPTSD</a> <a href="https://defcon.social/tags/cults" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#cults</a> <a href="https://defcon.social/tags/MindControl" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#MindControl</a>

Milcom MiasmaJoin us, it's bliss.I watched a TV program where an educated man working as a professor at a university was introduced to his wife's therapist and their support group. After the meeting, he told his wife "it seems like a cult" ... and then he joined that cult. 🤦‍♂️ Surprise, surprise, it turned out to be a cult and the man lost everything.I have no words but I guess it does explain a few things about our current political situation.<a href="https://mastodon.sdf.org/tags/WTF" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#WTF</a> <a href="https://mastodon.sdf.org/tags/TheStupidestTimeline" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#TheStupidestTimeline</a> <a href="https://mastodon.sdf.org/tags/Cults" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Cults</a>

LostSettler<a href="https://mastodon.scot/@Wen" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@Wen</a> technically worse than this. Forced de-indoctrination of kids out of the red suit cult without consent.Particularly galling when the sky fairy cult isn't much better, instead of Santa being not-provable/dis-provable, bearded white guy on cloud is still only not-provable/not-disprovable.Only things that are provable should really be in schools.
