“Men are driven by two principal impulses, either by love or by fear.”

— Niccolò Machiavelli, The Discourses

I desperately want to make a retrospective still for the discourses of hermitblr in late 2019 but a lot of information is lost with deleted blogs and discourse exclusive drama

I want to tell the new people history so they’re not doomed to repeat it like with the frankly invasive boundary blog

I want to tell people history so I don’t see people downplay, sanitise, and/or omit the communal trauma we experienced

But a lot of info is lost and not properly archived, and it’s emotionally exhausting to scroll thru anti blogs for sources only to find more and more harassment and more and more venom spat at cleo with the audacity to think that we viewers know the hermits better than one of their group, one of their friends

Last time I went digging I stopped because I found posts bragging that they’d found and outed some shippers from a shipping group chat, “they” in this context being antis who ran on the public face that they weren’t doing anything wrong, they weren’t harassing people, they just didn’t want to see shipping content

Something they evidently sought out just to further harass

#the discourses #/neg #it’s exhausting to look back on that trauma and see how flagrantly horrible the antis were #looking back at it and reading the testimonies on gens blog just makes it so clear that this wasn’t ever a balanced conflict #the paranoia of posting at that time dude even if I was a neutral party

SLYTHERIN: “On the occasion of every accident that befalls you, remember to turn to yourself and inquire what power you have for turning it to use.” –Epictetus (The Discourses)

Protect what belongs to you at all costs; don’t desire what belongs to another. Trustworthiness is your own, decency, and a sense of shame; no one can take them from you or prevent you from using these qualities except yourself - which you do the moment you begin to care about what isn’t yours, surrendering what is yours in the process.

Epictetus, The Discourses (c.108 AD) | Robert Dobbin translation.
