in my life, the past 2 months of israel have actually had a net positive impact in that they’ve shown me how the institutional gaslighting i’ve suffered from sdll and much of the sms community are paralleled on the biggest stage, the highest stakes, yet with total impunity [1/9]

it’s made it easier to accept what’s been happening to me w/o feeling like i’m going insane, losing myself in the contradiction between what i’m being told about myself and the truth

there are like a dozen concrete and direct parallels between the two

so it’ll be useful to me when the time comes to talk about it, if i can get my thoughts straight, at the expense of those readers who aren’t educated enough to understand what israel is doing

maybe i can collect my thoughts here

defo the most impactful parallel is the semantic-violence/internalising-the-muzzle thing

then there’s the contrast between which of the two sides is allowed to be seen as human with its actions excused

the ignorance israelis choose to live in parallels the link btwn co-dependence on a group + whitewashing its abusers

antisemitism smear reflects mlarvitar’s narrative reinterpretation flowcharts

“even if 1ups letter was abuse, it’s been a year” = the “do you condemn hamas” trap

erasure of history to justify a war is obvs the mods’ reaction to that letter

the western liberal contradictory reactions to 🇵🇸 vs 🇺🇦 reflects the menace from sdll who’s been supporting lumardy as well as death threats vs guy2308 + a friend’s right to falsely accuse me of rape

the “cosmic joke”/“circumstances that conspired to fuck you over” comments recall the media’s portrayal of the implicit inevitability of israel’s reaction – the removal of agency

the bullying call in mlarvitar discord reflects the gratuitous hatred on israeli social media

for me, the way i set myself free from the gaslighting, first around lumardy and then 1ups, is understanding that things don’t happen for no reason. if they wanted to stop it, they would’ve

all the mental gymnastics beyond that then fall into the water

(that’s a serbian idiom)
