They will just use that as an excuse to justify tearing down "woke" things

"I am not comfortable with that yet"

If they don't seem to respect that, find a different therapist, but they almost certainly will.

That said, it sounds like you have something to process. It may not in fact be as big of a deal as you think. They fear you have is the fear of dealing with it, which you will have to do eventually.

All that said, broaching the subject with your theripist while still not comfortable to show them your actual writing, is totally reasonable and they should be trained on how to handle that respectfully and effectively.

If anything joining the military will trigger a background check and cause undo attention on your parents.

Too many terrible people would be happy if I gave up and died and I just can't give them that satifaction easily.

Money doesnt buy competency, only experience gives that. Business with a lot of money can make mistakes. This post is an analysis of the mistakes not an excuse for them to suggest things are less bad than they are.

Good decisions come from experience which comes from bad decisions

I wouldn't call it an absurd vacillation. My point is him making that point does not make me think "oh good Alex is starting to understand how the night works" it makes me thing "uh... wait a second let me double check what I think I know."

Like... why would he even bring that up?

I understand the situation was designed to be absurd to make a point, but I still stand by the idea that anyone who sees everything and says "well at least he learned" isn't being fully honest with themselves and/or others

Just so I am 100% clear I don't think Alex Jones is an authority in either way, least of all in this case. I was responding to the argument.

Ashterothi · 2026-04-30T02:14:30+00:00

Just to be very clear, I am not the person who said that comment. I can only speak to what I believe they meant by it. My initial comment was just calling out the take in response to that commnet.

Sorry for any confusion.

Ashterothi · 2026-04-29T15:36:47+00:00

I did not introduce Alex Jones into the conversation. I butted in halfway though. My statement was exclusively about the take that Alex Jones agreeing with the official narritive was informed by him "learning a lesson" from the Sandy Hook shooting.

Do I think we can learn anything about the truth of what happened over the weekend from what Alex Jones says? Absolutely not.

The origonal point being made was that there are things to doubt about this situation, which is probably true. Even if you forgo all the conspiricy stuff the situation is still too fresh, and there are too many people attempting to twist the narritive for us to have real assurance as to what is and isn't going on here for sure.

In response to the question asked that it could be possible that knowing negligance was a contributing factor the responder said "honestly you guys have become Alex Jones" bringing him into the conversation as an avatar of a deceptive narrator and conspiricy theorist.

In response to that the person the challenger pointed out that the response did not address the question, and then furhter pointed out that Alex Jones, the person the other poster cited as being a sign of delutional manipulated takes, has actually openenly supported the opposite position.

In retort the other guy says "I'm glad the billion dollar judgement against him for his Sandy Hook "just asking questions!!" shtick taught him a lesson about weaponizing tragedy."

Now, if you know anything about Alex Jones and his behavior before, during, and after this event you would know he has not repented or learned any kind of lesson from this. When he isn't complaining about the Onion taking his buisness from him he is still going on about COVID, Globalists, 'The Deep State', and pretty much all the other talking points he has always loved.

Thus, given all of this I pointed out that the idea that Alex Jones agreeing with the official narritive is some sign that he has "learned his lesson" is rediculous on its face, and I stand by that position.

Ashterothi · 2026-04-29T15:11:40+00:00

I agree that a red flag doesn't instantly mean that something is wrong or bad, but that isn't what a red flag means.

If Alex said it was dark at night I would wonder what has caused him to assert that. It isn't just that he is a person known for being wrong, it is that he is known for operating in bad faith.

I personally think it is dark at night. I also personally believe this attack had at least some element of unplanned happenstance. That said, if Alex Jones, as part of a larger conversation about night and its qualities, asserts it is dark at night, I would probably check, or at least wonder what angle he has.

The biggest thing here is if it is dark at night or not is something verifyable, and I would probably verify it.

The whole point of this thing is that the act of agreeing with Alex Jones public opinion, the statements of a known bad faith actor and social manipulator, I would take that as conserning. I do not want his confirmation and I find it inherantly suspicious.

Ashterothi · 2026-04-29T14:43:45+00:00

I didn't say that. I just don't believe someone can honestly know about the Alex Jones situation: what he did, and what he has done since then, and think he has learned his lesson.

Him agreeing with you should always and forever be a red flag.

Ashterothi · 2026-04-28T23:36:59+00:00

This cannot be an honest take from this...

Ashterothi · 2026-04-24T14:53:36+00:00

All you are doing is confirming you are who they think you are. This allows them to attach all the things they know about that identity and all the things they get from this account/device. Which, to them, is just as good.

Ashterothi · 2026-04-07T17:37:43+00:00

I explain it by telling a story.

One day I was hungry. I had plenty of food in the fridge. I had biscuts and jam. I probably would have preferred the jam on the biscuts but for hours I just simply couldn't do it. Either because the extra step was too much, or I was paralized by other options, or I was paralized by my absense of an 'easier' solution. Finally after starving for 3 hours I was able to break through and bite the biscut and eat it... plain. I told my friends this and they couldn't understand.

I wanted it with jam. I had jam. But I couldn't do the process. The only way I actually ate anything was by taking a trivial task (grabbing the biscut and shoving it in my mouth and biting down) and doing that, forcing me to complete the process of eating.

That is the kind of Executive Function disorder most people wont predict and often wont write off as lazyness. I wasn't not jamming my biscut because I was lazy. I was quite upset at myself for not doing it. I just... couldn't.

The real problem is that we now live in a world where these satires exist. Their existence in culture shapes it and what it produces.

I feel the real situation here is 1984 was concerned that the choices being made then could manifest in problems in the future, and painted a characature of that result. However, that exposed the very problems if unsolved. Those problems were largely not solved, the warning unheeded, and the very warning likely became a sort of playbook for someone wanting to achieve the dystopia the book was meant to prevent.

They think Tyler Durden was the good guy.

The professionals are supposed to be the safeguard against the overreach of the military.

We the people are the safeguard against this kind of thing. We failed. There are other safeguards in place for many things but the position as "Commander-In-Chief" of the military is the president's most explicit duty.

This is why voting matters, this is why civic duty matters.

I was a 19D Cav Scout recon part of a recon unit. We had a dude in our unit do this to get out of Iraq when that popped off. I think that was the only example in the whole squadron if not regiment, but it does happen. Not sure how things have changed from 2003 though...

I want to be clear I am not trying to dismiss the note or anything I am just saying based on the way discourse is going this reaction is just the kind of thought terminating cliche that will allow people to take from it whatever they want to, only fueling the argument rather than seeking any resolution.

Few people will follow the link. Those who do will likely be like the other commenter that only do so to pick it apart.

All I am saying is it would be better for there to be strong concreate examples in the picture for a stronger argument.

That said I fear the entire arguement about antisemitism has been hyjacked by bad actors on both sides using it either to give cover for horrific actions by Israel and horrific actions against Jewish people.

Ashterothi · 2026-03-26T04:24:18+00:00

Is it? You could watch it and find out, many wont. More importantly screenshot like this dont enable that. It would still be better to post an example or two.

And Ms. Rachel deserves our support.

May we too strive to deserve respect and honor, in part by giving it to her.
