Today I’m going to talk about something that is pissing me off lately, but it isn’t to vent, it is because I feel in the duty of at least leaving it typed here.

During the past 6 months I have been seeing a big growth of collectives of people from very different fields. Collectives made up of people who think completely alike, and that’s something cool, don’t get me wrong, but I’m also seeing how they are creating oppression on the ones that think on a different way.
Pay attention and you will notice that there are a lot of oppressed people day by day because they don’t want to share a different thought, since they are afraid of getting cancelled and hated by the majority.

This morning I was stalking a little bit around Letterboxd (hey there is like a month that I don’t open it at least, hehe I have my rights too!!) and I found something very curious.
I usually don’t care about people complaining or people creating war around the social media, but today I couldn’t avoid not to type anything. I will leave the message I sent at the end of this post.

This guy wrote a paint drying saying something like:
1. He is very religious and people from Letterboxd don’t respect him (he has 2k followers and 10+ comments per review… okay)
2. He also says that he spends a lot of hours making reviews and people just prefer to make memes. So he reached the point that his iq is probably superior to the whole community of lb.
3. He seems not to respect the ones that are not religious nor the religious ones if they don’t think like him or like the Bible of course. He quotes the Holy Bible with a message which sounds something similar to: be the light in the darkness, being him the light of lb.
4. Everything to say that Letterboxd is not his place and that he was leaving it, he was glad of being here and blabla…

People from collectives which are respected by the rest acting like a victim and trying to impose their way to think about everything…
Then, me, a person who is completely fed up of those small oppressors I got there to give a message.
But there’s only a reason behind it, I don’t care about this guy, I hope he lives a happy life, he isn’t the problem, the main problem are the ones who get indoctrinated by these sectarian characters, there are lot of kids reading the reviews and there are a lot of people who become manipulated very easily, that’s something very common today, A LOT OF YOUNG KIDS…

We are living in 2023 and I would be really afraid of being father, some of you are already mothers and fathers, Jesus (never better said), it’s something very difficult, in the flick of an eye your son becomes indoctrinated by things he reads around the Internet, try to change his mind then, try it, change it. 

There isn’t only ONE WAY TO LIVE, there are plenty of roads, just be respectful and a good person, that’s being religious, that’s having faith and love, everything is resumed in two terms: love and peace, then choose your road having clear the principles.
So don’t indoctrinate people with other corrupted messages please.

Well, if you have read it, or at least the highlighted words and you want to share your opinion with me, go ahead, I’m open to any reaction, hit me with a stick or whatever.

The message I wrote to him in his review is the following one:

The best way to enjoy life is not being a radical person (no matter the field), I am religious (in my own way) and I can get your way of thinking, but when it comes to a social media platform you can’t expect that a whole community thinks like you.

Respect is an ethical, moral and social commandment and I see how a lot of religious communities fall at that point (without even noticing it). Of course you will say you respect and that you are only leaving because you just don’t like the way people approach their reviews, but that’s the kind of things that make a community toxic, disrespectful and dictatorial. To sum it up we are all different or better said, we are not all the same. So if you want to be in a group where everyone thinks the same same way than you, that’s more like a sect than a community.

If you feel slighted because people don't share what you think and don't spend hours on their reviews on this social network, you will probably feel offended in any area of your life.

I don’t usually join discussions, I don’t even post comments very often, but this one interested me, because being a sectarian person is the most exclusionary and at the same time the least religious thing there can be.

He said that nothing was constructive or valid, so it has to be that way.
