A lot of pop psychology gets thrown around and since I already have a headache, here's preventing you lot from making it worse.

Love-bombing: A manipulation tactic of increasing affection and grand gestures before or after doing something abusive, specifically to weasel one's way out of consequences.

What it is not: A streak of affection and generosity towards friends/loved ones.

Trauma-bonding: Knowingly traumatizing someone to take advantage of their vulnerable state, to then act like the "hero" or the one who cheers them up.

What it is not: Bonding over similar traumas.

Gaslighting: *Knowingly* convincing someone they cannot trust their own perception of a situation in pursuit of one's own narrative.

What it is not: Misaligned perception of events.

Narcissist: Someone afflicted with Narcissistic Personality Disorder, a traumagenic cluster B disorder, that struggles with self-obsession, paranoia, craving validity from the public, delusions of grandeur, and social disconnection.

It is not: Your rubbish ex that cheated on you.

Thank you for coming to my TED Talk.

The UK Supreme Court has overruled Scottish Courts and declared the Scottish Government was wrong to include trans women in the definition of 'woman'.

Scottish Government needs to grow a spine and tell them to get fucked as far as I'm concerned. The UK can shove their 'Family of Nations' schtick up their arse.

Just wanted to take the time to go on a little rant here.

Lately I've been seeing people (my family 😭) throwing around common propaganda out about Fidel Castro so might as well discuss some of it.

- "Fidel had wanted to attack the United States unprovoked" this claim comes from the events of the Cuban Missile Crisis, but its a claim that's been debunked before and after the crisis happened. Fidel had made it very clear throughout his entire life before and after his political career that he was not fond of the United States, although in the beginning he was willing to have peaceful cooperation with them and had some admiration in his younger years (like in his letter to FDR) but as time passed he knew clearly that the US would only be interested in cooperation if it meant that Cuba would become aligned with the exact policies of the US that Fidel made it clear he was against, which Fidel would obviously not accept so cooperation failed as a result of the US. This along with other instances that the US would plot against Fidel like the Bay of Pigs Invasion or the numerous assassination attempts on his life, eventually caused the Cuban Missile Crisis. This means that Fidel only acted out of retaliation to being attacked first by the United States.

- "He suppressed the rights of the Cuban people" this claim likely comes from defectors and the persecution of LGBT people in Cuba. The Cuban Revolution had sought to expand the rights of the people. In order to understand that one should be aware of the state of Cuba prior to the revolution, due to the March 10th coup d'etat which placed Fulgencio Batista in power in the country, he saw that Cubans especially minorities like Afro Cubans had restricted freedoms and opportunities. The Cuban Revolution had sought to change this and ensuring the rights of minorities in Cuba is something that was in large part a success and also a process still ongoing today. For the latter part of the argument, the claim that Fidel had purposely persecuted LGBT people, although unfortunately yes LGBT people were persecuted in Cuba under Fidel, however he did not know of it and stopped it as soon as he had learned of it in 1979. Later in 2010 several years after he stepped down and several years after LGBT people had gotten their rights further expanded, Fidel not only took further accountability for what had happened to the LGBT community but also had explained that because the US was constantly plotting against him at the time these persecutions were happening, he could not pay proper attention to them which is why he stopped it as late as he did.

- "Fidel ruined the Cuban economy" This likely comes from Cuba's poor state economically speaking, which is a result of US policy. To further explain, immediately after the Cuban Revolution, Fidel had started immediately making social changes to the country like agrarian and land reforms, seizing of private businesses, ect. which had gone directly against the path the US wanted the revolution to go. As a result the US had placed heavy economic sanctions and a trade embargo on the country meaning nothing can go in or out from the US, and a heavy fine would have to be paid otherwise. Naturally this damaged the Cuban economy but despite this Cuba still stands strong against the US, they have world renowned healthcare, long life expectancy, and many services in the country are free of cost despite the embargo. Because of this resilience Cuba can still stand with the revolutionary government regardless of what the US has done to them.

Guys i MIGHT be interested in Fidel idk 😣😣
