Barron Trump's friend Justin Waller revealed to The New York Times that the president's son has spoken with accused trafficker Andrew Tate and admires him.
he was always going to turn out this way. Because he had no reason not to. He was being raised by crooks, racists, thieves and rapists. And everyone was like “nono, we shouldn’t interfere, it’ll be fine”.
Want to know why I’m not a red voting racist dipshit like the rest of my family up and down the tree? Because I was challenged as a kid to defend my views and actions of my family. I had to think critically about who was raising me and if that was moral and ethical. I felt ashamed of knowing what my family was instead of just adopting their views wholesale. Because OTHER people didn’t just let it happen.
no, they don’t. Not unprompted. They have no reason to question it because they’re not forced to. And if they grow up surrounded by people reinforcing it, encouraging it, and no one to question it, that becomes their reality, it’s how they view the world. Normal to them, a monster to everyone else.
Literally Plato’s cave. It’s what they’re exposed to and what they know. It’s their curated reality, taught by monsters. And when they grow up, they reject new information because it doesn’t align with what they understand as “reality”.
Every person who ever “escaped” their faith, had some external factor that made them have to reconcile their reality. Question the shadows on the cave. Something outside of their bubble made them think that the world was different from what they were raised on. And then they had to choose to learn more over the more comfortable prospect of staying inside. It’s why cults work, but no one says “say what you will about the leader, but leave the members alone”… it’s the same operating principle.

Sometimes people escape their faith, and they shouldn’t be judged before their reveal their final personality.

This always seems to be relevant, sadly.
