Wow, the stories people are sharing of Leftist retaliation are eye-opening... So many of them, all of them more awful than one might imagine. Things are/have been worse than I realized, and I knew them to be bad.

Somebody has to bring these stories together in a book. There has to be an acknowledgement of what happened, and a reckoning.

Pacificus, if you wish, you can read stories with the same or similar behaviour patterns from other versions of totalitarianism.

There is the book category of cult memoirs, for instance, or the memoirs of spouses or children of Psychopaths/severe Cluster-B types. Same phenomenon as the WOKE attacks. In fact, many of the former situations are far worse than what Chris describes here.

Thanks for the steer, A. Yes, some of this stuff reminds me of Scientology-like retributions inflicted against apostates. That's the sort of thing we are dealing with, at scale.

Yes....to one degree or another -- Scientology, Jehovah's Witnesses and Mormonism (a whole category of apostate books there), Jonestown (written by the few survivors), the Charles Manson cult, the Hamilton-Byrne cult of Australia, and so many more. The totalitarian patterns jump off the pages.

Same with the other shocking stories of totalitarianism within families.

Far worse because of people like Chris holding the line. We absolutely were on the road to totalitarianism, American flavor.
