Gripes Away!
First of all, I'm not on the blue side or the brown side of the fence in terms of love means hate or hate means love or any group that polarity reverses polar opposites so that they mean or are interpreted as vice versa. Cults do that kind of thing in order to benefit themselves and be a detriment to the enemies they've made of others.Birthday?!
I'm not a member of any such cult and never will be, and I'll continue to expose them as well any time they attempt to subject me to such treatment as they did today and this evening. And to think, they did it during Remembrance Day as well, which is a big insult directed at Veterans.
I think they coordinate such efforts (when is say coordinate, I mean many people playing part in it across different regions and mediums) in order to get a reaction from their target that makes them appear anxious or unstable. The means by which they often discredit their victims and these reactions are all geared towards some semblance of colour symbolism, usually related to their victim's eye colour(s). I have green eyes (amongst other colours), hence they're probably trying to symbolize green with something that they use in a stigmatizing way, so as to discredit their victim. I'm not mentally ill, but I'd never use such an idea in a stigmatizing way, as people struggling with such challenges have a bit of a steeper hill to climb than most of us. Why would anyone make it that much harder by making it stigmatic?
