Shout them down in every space, make them embarrased to think the stupid shit they think.

If we don’t embarrass and correct them now we will have to kill them later when they come for our friends and families.

      It’s similar to the granola-mom to alt-right pipeline. If you’re willing to believe things with no evidence, you can be made to believe anything.

      I love the witchy girls, but there’s a difference between doing a ritual because you know it calms you and helps you think, vs thinking you’re actually dispelling demons. The latter are susceptible.

      The absolute weirdest flip. The hyper feminism witch girl from my old highschool married an ICE agent. My super Wicca HR manager from two jobs back would do rituals for the police.

      I dug into it and it’s not a unique experience. That demographic, somehow, went fascist real fast. It’s often attributed to “Conspiritualism” or holistic spiritual type peoples predisposition to accept wild conspiracy theories. The Alt Right works by rejecting the mainstream narratives and that aligns with their values. There’s a shared element of fetishizing the past and both groups show high recruitment when people feel powerless.

      Tldr; There are no harmless fools. If you worship a rock, you will get a block. Ignorance has no place in civil society.
