in one ear from the cage the elephant album i mentioned 4d ago is a song that first clicked with me shortly after saulnier ran the "community reconciliation" scam in sms, and it took me back to how i felt about tobhira about half a year earlier [1/7]

it's sad that i had a good attitude to them once but lost it cos i got sat on by saulnier

but that's kinda it when it comes to dealing with haters in general. you can just not care, but they can counterplay by forcing you to care by depriving you of oxygen, as jpep implied here

those lyrics VERY closely reflect what the bingo culture war was like. but especially lines 3/4:

i think my story will be read as a case study in the abject failure of the "keep them in the light" approach in the face of social abusers. it could put off a generation of readers

from ever tryna do that. for social abusers, it's christmas when their victim does that, and it seems to work well to their persuasion ends. which is ig why i'm the only person who's ever tried this? it fits

you just never know when a jpep or a saulnier will come kill you

i realised this from observing lumardy in 2021, that the illusion of innocence was built from a simulated spotless record, that a single exposed lie would in his mind topple the whole house of cards, and that killing someone was a price worth paying for that

you can exploit pervasive pro-bullying social undercurrents and, at min destroy your victim, but prolly also actually "win" the social battle

win is in quotes cos imo the gamble this requires on the victim surviving is stupid cos it's still 3 years vs the rest of your life [7/7]
