Ms. Penny Oaken, SkyWitch (@skywitches.net):

I'm going to call, here, for a third option

"Compassion" ❌

"Crush Them" ❌

Grey Rock Them ☑️

Faine Greenwood (@faineg.bsky.social):

I also firmly believe that we need to crush these people's spirits into blood and earth, not be nice to the amoral supporters of an aspirational gore-soaked dictator

Ms. Penny Oaken, SkyWitch (@skywitches.net):

These frickheads have been employing a Karpman Drama Triangle psychodynamic, forever and a day.

They will treat Compassion as them being the Victim, us as their Rescuers, and will continue the samsaric cycle of the Karpman Drama Triangle.

Crush Them — they will play Victim, casting us as Oppressors

Ms. Penny Oaken, SkyWitch (@skywitches.net):

We must break the cycle that centers them, and their narrative, and their desires, as the most important element in American political life.

We cannot afford to plan to do things Because Of Them (short of, y'know, prosecuting actual crime)

They need the Block

Ms. Penny Oaken, SkyWitch (@skywitches.net):

This is succinctly put in the Buddhist tradition of the True Friend

The friend who flushes the cigarettes & booze, and makes you go to therapy to get invited to the parties

Ms. Penny Oaken, SkyWitch (@skywitches.net):

I'm absolutely not kidding when I tell you that for the hardcore Trumpers, they are both addicted to being the Victims in a mythic narrative of the strongman Rescuer, and scripturally conditioned to reject callouts, reality checks, and interventions.

Ms. Penny Oaken, SkyWitch (@skywitches.net):

Every single thing we know about deradicalisation is that the only consistent thing that "works" is that they have to want to quit the extremist group.

That only happens when they get no mythic narrative purpose out of belonging to it any longer.

Ms. Penny Oaken, SkyWitch (@skywitches.net):

We don't know any general method of DeNazification.

There's no good general approach.

Except when they decide the magic is gone.

Ms. Penny Oaken, SkyWitch (@skywitches.net):

They still need to pay for therapy.
