@mamboitaliano__ During Trump 1.0 US Fashion magazines blacklisted the most beautiful First Lady (an actual model) in living memory. Posters on X seem determined to undo this injustice in Trump 2.0.

A top Southern Baptist leader is found guilty of gross sexual behavior with multiple victims and my feed is full of Baptists saying Beth Moore is Satanic and those “immodest women” are the root of immoral decline in our country and provoking innocent men to lust. Wow. Didn’t.
That very year, he was getting naked with boys. His own church at the time warned him to stop.

@ProfDBernstein I received a good piece of advice once. “Trying to convince an extremist from your polar opposite ideology is unlikely, but influencing those closer to your worldview is much more likely. Focus on the moderates, not the extremists.” This really helps me deal with extremists.

@DylanoA4 This is not true. As a former Legislator, laws and legal documents are written with a highly refined sense of reality and specificity, with the knowledge that they must convey meaning long-term and be sustained through legal challenge. Vernacular is built around cultural idioms.

Blaise is right on here. The practice of “secret sharing” about others by a leader is also a tool of sexual grooming. It makes the information recipient feel “special” and “within the circle of trust”. This tactic will then lead to a predatory leader exploiting the implied.
🚩 LEADERSHIP RED FLAGS 🚩 . If your leader speaks privately to you about the faults of your peers — know that he or she is likely speaking privately to them of your faults. This is called “isolating”. It happens in ministry’s and secular organizations (I’ve had it happen to me.
