Sometimes it feels like the “World of Valentino” is engaged in a full-blown civil war. I like to think of it as the “Critical thinkers” versus the “Cultists”. I apologize to those who feel offended by my calling them cultists...but really... if they choose to traipse after the cyber bullies/cult leaders, it is by definition cultist behavior.
The cult, in this instance, exists as more of a blind obedience situation; an adoration of a leader who appears sparingly to shock and awe the flock while hefting a holy relic/ Valentino memorabilia, in order to reestablish the eternal worship of the cultists.
So I guess that level of mind control is like an addiction... so those caught in that situation?... well I can't fault them for an addiction... but I can hope they see some light because a mind is a terrible thing to waste as the saying goes. And when you are not questioning and thinking and asking for proof, blindly accepting... then you are wasting your mind imo.
The problem I see with this stupid civil war is that it is unnecessary and sinister. Sinister because when you demand obedience, such as telling the members of Mad About the Boy and We Never Forget Facebook pages, that they can not even mention us or our work... then it is sinister mind control and cult behavior by definition.
If you look up definitions of cults, you will find one of the most dominant and distinguishing traits to be leaders who censor literature. Book Burning is a thing for them. And the effort that the Valentino cult leader and the devoted acolytes engage in to eliminate a perceived threat... “us”... imo is criminal behavior.
So thank you to all you brilliant and critical minds who leave comments here. And no we do not write the Anonymous comments as we are accused of doing so by that tired, tired Valentino Porn Fiction Writer... zzzzzzz. And the reason some people use the Anonymous alias is obvious. Who needs a bunch of demented cultists terrorizing them online?
I do not think there is much of a possibility to end the civil war. Hala Pickford said it best long ago... “This won't stop until they are dead or we are dead.” And on the subject of Hala Pickford... I will soon tell that story as I know it.
