When I started to expose a new age conman, his coconspirators (they seem like they’re all in a big secretive cult to me) would send me messages trying to shame me into silence through demanding that I become more “positive”. I went on the positivity group on Reddit and all these miserable sounding people were telling each other to be positive. If I told my father in my youth that I was fed up with all the abuse, he’d tell me to be positive.
The constant admonitions to "Be Positive!' are used as a tool of power and control. This is how the demons dominate us in this world. Is it any different in the next?
