She goes on a pilgrimage in order to avoid voting on abortion, instead of attending to her responsibilities and speaking out.
11. At TDS, a psychologist or therapist (a woman)
… speaks on British women, particularly the Wokeleft. She mentions inner circles, outer circles and “the others”. I see it as inner, second circle, outer acquaintance-friends, then the unknown outliers:
“The Rest are the people who are not connected to our life and bear no importance on it. We do not spend any resources on them and say ‘no’ without needing to justify ourselves. Those people knocking on your door asking to talk to you about their charity? No thanks. No need to let them give you a whole lecture on a cause of their choice with the inevitable push for your donations. No need to explain you are completely capable of choosing whom to support with your finances without their help. Just no and be done with it. It doesn’t mean there is anything wrong with them as people, it means that they hold no value specifically in your life and you have better things to do with your time and resources.
Why can this differentiation not be applied to those people coming in this country? Why are we assigning more resources to The Outer Circle and even more to The Rest, such as illegal migrants?”
Coming back to my three concentric circles … you have yours too … the inner has maybe four or five, where all is known. The second are our core patrons here and just a few on X, people like Julia … very close but necessarily keeping some distance to that outliers don’t get to penetrate the perimeter and get at you.
The acquaintance-friends are many out there, day to day and I could talk with them for hours if we wanted … usually we just say hello, goodnight.
The outliers are of three kinds … hostile or potentially hostile, none of their business and potential friends, were circumstances different.
There is, however, another layer … those not in our orbit but we care for them, even pray for them. The Persian girls were this layer, difficult to know where they fit in.
#14 That’s an ingenious approach to the matter.
On the other hand maybe Naziyahoo is just skulking in bunkers and that’s why he has vanished from view. He fears that the Iranians will want an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth.
