tpot is a group composed largely of people excluded from more "natural" tribes by some combination of: 1) limited social skills 2) preference for internal consistency over social convention 3) derealization, extreme spiritual practice, or religious experience 4) temperamental heresy or iconoclasm
this confuses people who don't share these qualities because its members have almost all experienced de-personing in a society that claims to only to do that to horrific people. that is also why there are multiple parts of it that dislike one another: some parts believe other parts are despicable
this is an on-point description - is someone ruling on our fate btw ? i get that vibe recently
oh, yeah, that seems about right
I love derealization!!!! also: Acronym: This Part of TPOT. Loose social and parasocial set of groupings/subculture predominantly around feel goods, vibes, life support, low key hornt
Yeah, when you’ve had enough of standard group dynamics and you just want to chill with good natured, thoughtful ppl with a sense of humor that aren’t playing the same old social games. That’s what it feels like to me at least.Yeah, when you’ve had enough of standard group dynamics and you just want to chill with good natured, thoughtful ppl with a sense of humor that aren’t playing the same old social games.
