I'm not sure you know the meaning of the word gaslighting.
Me telling someone that I think they are wrong is not gaslighting. Otherwise, by your logic, I can accuse you right now of gaslighting.
Feel free to check out wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gaslighting https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gaslighting
> which definitely do not apply universally. I characterized it as gaslighting, as you're basically telling people who don't trust the system that their concerns are invalid.
I mean... this is quite a stretch... objectively if you get mugged you do go to the police, there's nothing else that can help you. Saying you should have some faith is not gaslighting as you're so keen on saying. Same as you saying that people should have no faith in police is also not gaslighting.
Thread has gone one pretty long and honestly there's no point to stretch it further, best of luck.
- mindslight 4y agoYou are not saying "if you are mugged you should go to the police, they will probably help (even if you do not think they will)". Rather you are saying the equivalent of "you should not be concerned about getting mugged, because if you are the police will help". Apparently you have never had to suffer bureaucratic incompetence or even bureaucratic maliciousness. As I've said, I'm glad for you but your experience is certainly not universal.
