#they're trying to discredit us by saying out loud that we're ops. that honestly means they probably think we're NOT

had someone i was mutuals with a few years ago dm me to say how disappointed they were that i'm not going to vote for joe biden. said i'd fallen for a psyop, and they expected better from me

not gonna get into how I decided not to vote for biden through irl conversations with leftists i know and some white liberal I haven't had a conversation with in i don't know how long is not gonna change that

i want to talk about parasocial relationships. bc someone doesn't have to be famous for you to be in a parasocial relationship with them, any kind of social media following relationship does also fit this label

even if we have talked recently, even if we are mutuals, your expectations of me are not my responsibility. I don't owe you anything. I owe it to myself to live truthfully and follow my own moral code.

and trying to leverage your perception against someone you DON'T KNOW, someone you do not have a reciprocal relationship of love and trust with, is fucked up. especially if you start going on about how disappointed you are without even trying to have a conversation first to understand their perspective. it's manipulative and disrespectful and i want to make sure y'all know, it's not something any of you should ever let yourselves be swayed by.

anyone who would talk to you like this cares more about their discomfort with liking/admiring/trusting someone they disagree with more than they care about you.

do not let those people run your life.
