I think what strikes me is how this, and so much other Scn stuff talks about people not wanting to be a team... what's funny is, that although you do see people 'out for themselves' in reality tv and media and stuff, I freaking meet people who support each other much more in the 'wog world' than I did in Scio. Folks were so busy covering their asses that friendships took place in secret... you were so expected to KR the fuck out of anybody that didn't fall in line that it was the most backbiting insane place ever... anybody remember "mutual out-ruds?" Seriously.
Don't get me wrong, I run into weird social gossip and craziness that I have high-school flashbacks, but NONE of it approaches the way I was pitted against others in the cult. Being expected to ostracize and shame folks whose stats were down? REALLY?????
