"How anti-cultists operate"
Tumblr media
#anti-cultism and its horrible schemes to enslave people's minds is a hot topic in the media space. More than once we have come across blogs where people study in detail the work of anticultists. I myself have only recently become acquainted with this subject. I just recently watched a video with a respected doctor, teacher of American intelligence Egon Cholakyan on the platform:
(by the way this video is translated into different languages on different YouTube channels).  He tells in detail the actions of the KGB Hydra, the shadow side, the architects of the world. He revealed it on the example of the organization "ALLATRA". What is the organization "ALLATRA" you can read in my previous articles.
So, a simple example: you see two classic slanderous articles about the organization "ALLATRA".
Tumblr media
It is easy to see that they have similar names, and also contain the same demonizing phrases and labels, the same negative rhetoric against this organization and its volunteers.
demonizing phrases and labels, the same negative rhetoric against the organization and its volunteers.  But you can also see that despite the obvious similarities, these articles were published by different authors, in different publications and even in different countries: Ukraine and Russia. Note, these countries, which since 2014 have been actively opposing each other. And since 2022 are in a state of acute military conflict and their usual rhetoric in the media space is always diametrically opposed. 
 Note that in order to stigmatize ALLATRA both in Russia and in Ukraine the same stigmatizing terms are used: "sect", "totalitarian sect" and "destructive sect". I learned that such terms are characteristic of post-Soviet countries. These terms have been purposefully introduced and disseminated in order to form negative attitudes toward those to whom they are applied. Since 1993, the term "totalitarian sect" has been widely used. This term is applied to organizations that are dangerous, cause physical or moral harm to people and society.  The term destructive sect is a synonym for the term "destructive cult". Thus, by using the term "destructive sect" in relation to the organization "ALLATRA" journalists - authors of
libelous articles in both countries without trial and investigation accuse the members of ALLATRA of harming people and society. Although in fact the participants of the organization "ALLATRA" did not commit any crimes. 
Also, I noticed that the texts of articles from two countries: Russia and Ukraine have identical rhetoric. I.e. they use the same pejorative comparisons, the same phrases taken out of the general context. I also noted that journalists exploit the current enmity between these countries and build false accusations against ALLATRA depending on the political and ideological sentiments of the inhabitants of one or another country. 
Pay attention to the following: 
for residents of Russia, journalists apply labels to ALLATRA: "pro-Ukrainian sect", "pro-American sect", sect financed by the West, as a project of the Security Service of Ukraine SBU, and so on. 
- and for residents of Ukraine on the contrary, journalists apply the labels "pro-Russian sect", "sect of the Russian world", "FSB project" of the Federal Security Service of Russia, "pro-Putin sect", "sect that prays to Putin", "sect where Putin is their god". 
As I understood from the words of respected E. Cholakyan: "This method is based on making accusations that have no real grounds, but serve as a trigger for negative resonance within the country concerned".
Look again at the scheme of action of anti-cultists:
- according to the discrediting campaign organized by the KGB in Russia ALLATRA is pro-Ukrainian and financed by the West. 
- and in Ukraine ALLATRA is pro-Russian and financed by the special services of Russia. 
Note that these accusations contradict each other. 
I.e. when the same methods of discrediting are used in different countries, when even the titles of articles sound the same and only the names of special services change depending on the audience, it indicates a carefully planned campaign of disinformation, which has a single customer. Thus it becomes obvious that there is some third party interested in this. And this third party has influence on the media in both countries and its influence remains as strong even in times of military conflict.  This force is the KGB hydra. 
It is important to realize that for the KGB hydra, the current war between the two countries is just one strategic step in a long-term strategy to destroy the foundations of democracy in our society and America as a nation. 
In the following articles I will continue to review the actions of the anti-cultists.

Apologies if this is a weird question, but do you think it's okay for people with ASPD traits to call themselves sociopaths / psychopaths? I have NPD + AvPD and a lot of ASPD traits (though I'm unsure if I qualify for a diagnosis of it) and I'm just wondering if it would be offensive for me to call myself those things since I'm not the "proper" thing?
So those words have no medical definition, they are just stigmatized terms. Just like with stigmatized terms for any other group being targeted, I believe it is the right of the people those terms are used against to choose to reclaim them. The only thing that I think is unacceptable when it comes to reclaiming (which means to me a person choosing to use stigmatized terms that apply to them in a positive or neutral way) is trying to use those terms for others. I don't take issue with any pwASPD or NPD using either of those terms for themselves because both are leveraged against people with both disorders (further proving that they literally mean nothing if they ever did). So in my opinion, you referring to yourself as either of those would be fine, but referring to anyone else besides yourself even if they have ASPD or NPD wouldn't be okay unless they are specifically okay with it. Basically, avoid making those "to all the soci0paths, I love you" posts (to be clear the stigmatized terms used are the only things I take issue with on those posts, the concept is very sweet/gen), at least so far as my opinion on this goes.

Sarcasm: Hey everyone I guess we have to change the word misogyny to gynophobia now you know so we're not Nazis somehow
''if you change the suffix for bigotry terms to avoid further stigmatizing people with actual anxiety disorders And acknowledge that bigots HATE you instead of FEAR you that means you're a literal Nazi!!!!!!!"

I think that some people are not so much genuinely concerned with over-medicalization of the human condition, trivialization of serious mental illness, etc. and are actually more just preoccupied with the concept of "posers". Which is lame as fuck if I'm being honest.

I would like a Clockwork who is dangerously obsessive yandere. She will stalk (you) everywhere you go. There is no escape.
Honestly, I don’t think she would be, at least not in my interpretation of her.
She’s just not that kind of person imo.
Clockwork, despite her energetic demeanor and her “stab first questions later” approach to things is probably one of if not the most nonchalant pastas.
She doesn’t feel attachments super easily, and if someone were dating her and told her they were breaking up with her, she’d be like “ah, shame. Anyways”
IDGAF queen
Comes with the territory of being traumatized for years and being one of the oldest residents of the manor. She’s honestly hoping maybe the weird resilience and anti-aging magic (?) will decide to fail one day cause she’s honestly over it. And by it I mean everything in general. She’s constantly chasing multiple different highs to try and feel something again, most of the time it provides a temporary entertainment or relief.

there is no hard line between someone who is neurodivergent and someone who is neurotypical. it doesn't exist! there is no person who never experiences depression or anxiety or fear or communication struggles. disorders are a spectrum of symptoms and how disrupting they are to you and your daily life. even within the same label you will find that people fall along a spectrum of how disabling and how often, who struggle differently and cope differently. there is no universal experience. idk where i'm going with this. do you get me?

I feel like certain people on Tumblr have really been fighting for backwards progress when it comes to how we talk about mental illness and abuse. I see posts at least several times a week on my dash that seem to have the purpose of implying people with insert-mental-illness and/or insert-symptom are not abusive when they do insert-action-that-makes-people-uncomfortable, often times meaning to promote a more positive image of people with particularly stigmatized conditions, like personality disorders, mood disorders, psychosis, addiction, or neurodivergence. And I really really hate it because these posts almost always have the ultimate purpose of telling people not just "This thing is not inherently abusive," but often it comes across as "You were not abused."
I just find that to be really unhelpful and unintentionally hurtful, and for what? I believe that destigmatizing various mental conditions is a worthy cause, but at the same time this type of rhetoric seems to be so protective of people in whichever stigmatized group they're trying to advocate for, that it comes back around to a sort of respectability politics. Anybody can be an abuser. And someone's means and methods of abusing can very much be influenced by a condition they have. Why wouldn't it be? Their conditions will affect every aspect of their life and their interpersonal relationships. Especially if these issues are going untreated or being insufficiently managed. I don't understand why anyone would want to make it appear as if abusers are mostly neurotypical and mentally well people, or that if they aren't, then their conditions have nothing to do with it and the overlap is merely incidental. What? It makes it so hard for anyone who is a victim to come to terms and identify the dynamics of what they've gone through.
Addicts and mentally ill people don't have to be unproblematic in order to be humanized and accepted. And nobody profits from writing hard and fast rules about how abuse apparently works, drawing clear lines between which behaviors can, and cannot, ever be abuse.
#tales from diana#making unrebloggable bc i can't handle the discourse on this topic#my own experience with being abused and taken advantage of by someone who almost CERTAINLY had npd... just kinda breaks me#when i see this and it's like making it out to be 'everyone who says they suffered from narcissistic abuse is lying#or misunderstanding what narcissism is because ppl w npd would NEVER do this'#i can see that it's a highly stigmatized term and i don't want to act like an expert on what ppl w the condition go through#but i can tell you i felt deep sympathy for this man for a long time. i felt pity for all he'd gone through. but he'd just lay on the guilt#for every little thing i did that ever displeased him for any reason. he just degraded and disrespected me. and USED me#he used me for money for attention for CONSTANT attention oh my god#he wouldn't even let me go to sleep sometimes before 3 am. and he stole so much money from me#he put me in physical danger. he gossiped about me to all my friends when i was starting to distance myself#before i even came to terms with just how toxic he was to me.#and every time i just wanted to go somewhere wo him or even just stay at home by myself#it was about HIM. it was about how HE felt about it. he had ZERO sympathy for me and i handled all his emotional labor#this man couldn't even think for himself. he brought all his problems to me for me to sort through bc he was so inept and shallow#he was lazy he was careless he didn't listen to ppl he was casually rude#i didn't allow myself to accept these parts of him bc of all he suffered through i felt like he was just a sad little boy#who never learned manners or etiquette or. just. respect#basic respect. as much as i outlined what i wasn't ok w and what hurt me. it didn't matter to him#and NONE of these things are inherently the things that make me think he has npd#his actual suffering and the things i felt bad for him about were very real and severe#but i know what happened between us and i know he was abusive to me. the ppl writing these posts do not.#to say that someone has been abusive in an interpersonal relationship should be something we should be able to respect#and give ppl the benefit of the doubt. and victims may OFTEN not be well-informed about their own abusers' issues#but ppl can just know whether or not they were abused. regardless of if they fully grasp the why and how#if victims say something problematic or paint w a broad brush talking abt ppl who have something in common w their abuser#we should still correct that gently and kindly and not dismiss their experience outright#like i can't believe i have to say that. but i've seen some seriously upsetting posts on here recently.

Hmm. Sometimes we think that we're being as obvious as we can get, but sometimes someone says something that makes us wonder. You guys know we're a narcissist, right? The distance between us and whatever guy you're deciding to bash by calling "narcissistic" is practically nothing. It's not like it's a Secret Bad People Disease that only evil guys get. We are here in the room with you now.

@beatingheart-bride
In turn, Randall squeezed her hand back, as he drew in a deep breath. Despite his best efforts, clinging to the notion that his parents would at the very least be understanding once everything was laid out on the table for them, seeing that Emily really meant him no harm and that they truly were in love, there was no denying that growing cold pit in the bottom of his stomach, worsened only by her suggestion. A part of him sort of wanted to (however lamely) protest, instead suggest they save it for another day, and just enjoy themselves for now...
...he knew, in his heart, she was right. They would have to tell them at some point, and it was better to do it now rather than later; Randall had never been one keen to lie to his parents, and he knew the guilt of keeping such a massive secret from them would eat him up from the inside out. Thus, it was just better to get it out of the way-for both his and Emily's ease of mind.
"You're right," he sighed, as he brought her closer, wrapping his arm around her as he nodded, "They...they do deserve to know. I'll, uh...I'll give them a call in a little while, tell 'em when I'll be home, and that you'll be with me. We'll...we'll tell them together."
He punctuated this with another loving kiss, this one pressed to her cheek as he reassured her, "It'll be alright, Emily."

Gonna get on the stoner soap box for a second here but, I see a lot of ppl who smoke in the tags of those opinion polls saying shit like "in my defense I smoke bc (x)," or "I smoke every day I'm a degenerate ;-;" and that's not cool. Why do you feel like you need to defend yourself for smoking weed? It's not an action or lifestyle that is inherently evil, despite what the media will say, or ppl who are losers when it comes to weed. (To clarify: I don't think you're a loser if you've never smoked weed or have no desire to smoke weed. You're a loser if you think you're better than someone because they smoke weed.)
Like. As someone who has smoked daily before, sometimes multiple times a day, the only person who can determine how much weed is TOO much is YOU. I will say, it's good to monitor patterns when you smoke and take note of whether there are any outside factors that are pushing you to smoke. From experience, frequently smoking to ignore or avoid problems can cause cycles to form. It's also important to take note of how you feel when you smoke. Is it serving its purpose? On average, how do you feel when you smoke? If something has shifted negatively, that's a sign you might need to reflect.
Regardless of why or how often you do it, smoking weed doesn't make you a degenerate. Even if you smoke to cope with a problem, or out of sadness, or dissatisfaction with life.

@ all the people who use the term ""delulu"":
Tumblr media
(image description in alt text)
by the way, for people who don't understand what the issue with "delulu" is, let me put it this way. i know a kid who uses delulu in day to day speech to refer to her crushes, or her favorite fictional ships, or other people liking things she doesn't. this is common. one day, she found out from an ex friend of mine that i used to honestly believe i was the second coming of jesus christ. when she asked me about it, i told her it was a delusion. she said "honey, you're not delusional, you're straight up insane." if non-psychotics take "delusional" and make it mean anything less than what it does mean, it leaves us with no word less than insane, or nuts, or crazy.

MASKING MYTHS BUSTED: “Masking = Acting NT.”
FALSE.
Autistic masking does not necessarily mean “pretending to be allistic/neurotypical," although you’d definitely be forgiven for thinking it does.
Non-autistic researchers have been referring to it as “camouflaging” for years, framing it as an intentional choice to suppress autistic traits and replace them with allistic ones in order to “blend in.” Doing an internet search on the term will return several similar results.
But now, Autistic researchers are in the game, and their take is much more nuanced and comprehensive than that. (Funny how that happens, isn’t it?)
They’ve found that:
- It CAN be intentional but is often subconscious and involuntary 
- It is a protective response to trauma and feeling unsafe 
- It is often about suppressing more than just autistic traits 
- It is about identity management and being able to predict how people will treat you, not just “blending in”
Some people will lean into being “the bad kid” because they know that’s what people expect of them. Some people will even act “more autistic” because they know that’s what people expect of them. Others still will do things to attract attention in controllable, more “acceptable” ways to avoid attracting attention in unsafe, more stigmatizing ways. Not because they WANT to be that way, but because it lets them predict people’s responses better, which feels safer.
Also, there are Autistic people who can’t “pass” for non-autistic no matter how hard they try. That doesn’t mean they’re not masking. They may actually be working hard to suppress A LOT, they just can’t do everything to neuronormative standards.
None of these people will be accused of “blending in,” yet they are still masking their hearts out. When we assume they are not, we miss all the harm that masking is causing them. But they are suppressing themselves and suffering the consequences of that just as much as any Autistic person whose mask successfully says, “Hey, I’m just like you!”
(For more on this, please see the work of Dr. Amy Pearson and Kieran Rose.)
