Trying to leave the vampire's castle but the vampire keeps casting illusions on me such as making a stone wall look like an open door which causes me to run into it at full speed trying to escape, knocking me unconscious

Exiting a Vampire's Castle is relatively easy assuming they don't have Dominate or one of the other mind control Disciplines like Presence

Kinda get the idea they both stem from the same issue; when your movement is dominated by petty bourg white people who primarily use it to get high on their own self-righteousness, all the social norms are basically indistinguishable from Mean Girls.

I've been reading a bit of Mark Fisher recently and I think he was a very thoughtful man who cared deeply about the effects that capitalism was having on people's mental health. Just in case someone who wasn't familiar with Mark Fisher's work is reading this thread I'm linking a very short, but powerful article of his.

https://theoccupiedtimes.org/?p=12841

I haven't read most of what he's written but this article is a favourite of mine. I also ordered a collection of his writings a couple of days ago and I'll dig into it, eventually. Cheers everyone and rest in peace Mark.

C. Derick Varn, one of the people who commissioned and edited this essay, did a 5-year retrospective podcast that's worth a listen. The story starts around 14:15 and ends up pretty dark by the end. E: the aftermath section starts after exactly an hour of extremely good theory chat at 1:14:15 https://www.sectarianreviewpodcast.com/episodes-and-show-notes/episode-68-exiting-the-vampire-castle

This may have bern posted due to some FYAD whatever, but i think its a really good essay, and lays bare why everyone should disengage from the toxic hellscape of twitter as much as possible.

One thing it didn't seem to touch on as much is that one of the ways this is self reinforcing is that the current state of internet journalism can put well meaning people in a place where they have to find someone to shame/excommunicate just in order to survive. People build their life around a Patreon income stream, and the Patrons want content. So if you got there by, say, calling out legitimate assholes/sexism/racism, etc, you now have to hunt down novel, interesting, culturally relevant forms of shitheaddery, and you have to do it before someone else releases the same take on it and renders you obsolete. Taking time to actually make sure you're accurate is time some competitor could've already posted their youtube video! Gotta get them hot takes out now, or you'll literally starve!

Wow I'm glad I decided to do literally anything else with my life.

It can't be about Fyad because like sunandspring pointed out Fyad wasn't a full of self proclaimed leftists. I think it's about the perceived lack of space for dissent during the height of the Fyad shutdown struggle. Ultimately we'll never know...unless muon unbans himself
