Personal story:
   After my brainwashing-style experience began in the early-to-mid 2010s
   I found Free Talk Live on Facebook and began following them.
   The brainwashing, which heavily involved Facebook, involved
   anti-freedom beliefs.  Because of this I was very scared of phrases
   that included the word "free" or "freedom" or expressed these as
   values.  (And I'm in this present moment having issues struggling to
   talk about this and hold it safely in my mind.)
   So I followed Free Talk Live because they were able at all to use the
   word "free" in their name, and that was completely out of my reality.
   I was living dissociated from what I was going through, and interpreted
   their shows as being secret messages that related to my personal
   experience.
   One show I listened to talked about the importance of choosing sides,
   so I stopped listening to them much, because requiring the choosing of
   sides to engage in a fake war had been part of my life-destroying
   brainwashing, and after hearing this expressed I figured they were
   fake.
   I was living an altered reality, in an influencable mental state where
   I thought everything was directions as to what I needed to do.
   Facebook still gave FTL updates in my feed.  I couldn't control what
   the feed gave me during that time: using the facebook controls to
   include or remove sets of items would simply have no effect.  The
   newsfeed behavior I couldn't seem to influence went through different
   phases, but mostly prevented me from accessing upbeat inspirational
   memes, and prevented me from accessing expressions from sets of friends
   and activists whom I am still disconnected from.  A reasonable summary
   in retrospect could be that it seemed like the "like" button had the
   opposite effect, such that clicking it resulted in seeing something
   less.
   So those updates simply became occasional parts of the visual memes
   that would influence my behavior while dissociated, scrolling by my
   newsfeed.
   It's pleasant to see free talk live, on this list, after so long.  That
   word "free" is powerful among slavery.  Not everyone can even think
   it.  It means hope, it means shilling, it means there is a reality out
   there, where things are different, where the word represents something
   tangible and real: a reality we need to defend with our lives.
   Don't let the bullies with guns and political strings rob us of our
   freedom.  They are misled powerholders yearning for it themselves.
