@lritter regardless there's a whole parable about what stops people from coming to the aid of vulnerable community members and it involves wolves and stuff
@lritter actually i don't think that narrows it down, there's like a lot of parables involving wolves. what is with wolves that they're in so many parables?

@lritter having not been there i can only speculate, but there could be other factors at play like whoever came to her support being someone whose trust she had earned, and/or then correctly recognizing you were an asshole
@aeva yes. i think it was my mum who ultimately had the last word. i don't simply fall in line when told to so you can imagine what an achievement of her it was to make me stop fighting forever. and i think she only could because she had a very similar phase in her youth.
(you never get rid of it completely. there is always a danger of getting swept up in the moment.)

@aeva yeah but what uhm... what if we have a Sphere situation or DS9 S1E14 ("the storyteller") so that warning of the wolves manifests them?

@lritter thankfully we have social media now as an outlet for these things

@lritter ah, see the trick is i send posts into your primitive internet from the safety of a parallel universe much like the trolls in homestuck. this parallel universe is basically the same as the one you live in but much, much more violent. we call it America

@aeva we have a phenomenon here where russian agitators use social media, DMs specifically, to targetly persuade specific locals to drive cars into christmas markets full speed. the digital manipulating the physical. riveting stuff.
