Yes, and I think what you’re talking about may also help explain why this woke stuff is so incredibly popular among women. After all, it’s mostly women calling themselves feminists who complain about the “patriarchy” forcing women to be nice and submissive who then turn around and behave as though women being exclusionary, or refusing to accommodate people, or not just passively accepting what we are told are all mortal sins. Look how JK Rowling has been treated, among many other examples.
Modern feminists often blame men for all violence but in my experience women can be psychologically brutal and are just as prone to bullying behaviour. This fake social justice keyboard warrior stuff is the perfect outlet allowing women (and men too) to bully and abuse from a position of physical safety while still telling themselves they’re just being nice or being kind of being open minded or standing up for people. All the bullying is just “holding people accountable”. It’s honestly terrible.
It disappoints me and part of me will always be shocked by how pervasive this terrible and, yes, hateful ideology has spread even though I was pretty brainwashed by it when I was younger. I feel like faith in the Gods and study of philosophy and deeper spiritual and magical practice helped save me from it years ago now and yet I see so many spiritual people and occult practitioners falling deeper and deeper into it all the time. Their magic and faith and politics are all so entwined and that’s why I wondered about the role of blowback. I think this is going to get worse before it gets better as things socially get more and more tense. It’s going to go very badly if the magical resistance actually convinces a wide number of people that occultists can curse and/or kill using magic with seeming impunity.
I’m just glad this forum exists where I can say “hey cursing people and summoning demons actually isn’t super cool” without it being a super controversial statement.
