Idk man. In every org I’ve been apart of, there comes a time where you can slowly start to see people suddenly switch their use of language and become fully engulfed by whatever “system” they belong to. Corporate America, church, clubs, it’s kinda fucking terrifying to see in real time. And the people who notice this happening/tell people to check themselves never seem to have enough power/authority to get it to stop. And then it fucking spirals out of control and you’re dealing with borderline cults.
What’s the fucking antidote
I would say, yes. At that point just hangout with each other outside the meetings lol. It’s fine to socialize and have fun at organization meetings, but what’s the point of having a political / aid organization if you just hang out and do nothing? You can do that without driving away people who joined to carry out its objectives
