After this had people in this industry confide they got baited into shit and are now being extorted. Nobody cares about your mistakes, let it kill your ego, it’s good for you, and if it’s actually some criminal shit just pretend to be stupid, drag your feet, don’t help them!
Reiterating, the freaks we are fighting use two primary mechanics
1) debt
2) blackmail
These complement each other, they have a ratcheting effect for building power.
Their problem is they have used these successfully for so long, they forgot to learn how to do ANYTHING else.
