No matter how much I align with a cause, if I sense group psychosis, I step back. Hive mind always carries a cost. When people turn on those who don't comply, that's a big red flag; the movement has been infiltrated, no matter how worthy the cause.
When I feel pressure to publicly take a stance, I pause. That pressure itself reveals another force at play, seeking to override my free will.
My pause is not indifference, it's discernment.
I may share similar sentiments, even contribute - but in my own way, with deep intention and not in reactive, peer pressured, hive-driven (and often performative) ways.
The means matter. I will not participate in energetically destructive dynamics, even when I care deeply about the issue. This is how I stay rooted in agency, free from the programs running through so many collective movements.
