    We’re under siege by an actual fascist takeover, millions of people are being hurt, detained, starved, bombed, and killed; and you’re on here arguing about the colloquial use of retconning and claiming gaslighting is “hard to prove”? That’s the line in the sand you’re gonna draw?

    Jesus Christ, we’re fucking doomed.

      “Gaslighting” is commonly misunderstood/misused. Some people seem to use it as a synonym for “lying”, but that’s not at all what it is.
