For sex trafficking survivors
For those who were trafficked in a small, local ring your story matters
For those who were trafficked in a large scale operation your story matters
For those who were first trafficked as a kid/preteen/early teen your story matters
For those who were first trafficked as late teens and adults your story matters
For those who were in a ring that was also a cult your story matters
For those who were in a ring with no religious affiliation your story matters
For those who have a dissociative disorder (DID, OSDD-1 OSDD-2 etc.)due to the extreme trauma you underwent your story matters
For those who don’t have any disorder besides probably (C-)PTSD from your time in the ring your story matters
For those who are receiving help, wether it’s legal or mental, for the abuse you were forced to undergo your story matters
For those who are not currently receiving assistance your story matters
For those who are all alone your story matters
For those who know and interact with other survivors your story matters
For those who are safe and away from the group, your story matters
For those who are still unsafe, and even those currently being trafficked, your story matters
Any other survivors/victims in between or outside of these categories, your story matters
Your story matters

This is now the great push of sex trafficking. War creates refugees and many people of extremely vulnerable circumstance. War and trafficking work hand in hand. Trafficking as the global phenomenon is the result of military prostitution. The sex trade is the literal war on women. Pornography is war propaganda. Rape is an abhorrent act that should never be legitimized as entertainment. There is a physical, sexual, psychological war on women, and its propaganda is pornography.

It's really wild to me that foster kids are completely excluded in theories of privilege, intersectional feminism or diversity and inclusion policies.
Even though the outcomes for former foster kids are absolutely horrific, it is often ignored... Unless foster kids are being used in the abortion debate.

“Hazbin Hotel fetishes abuse and doesn’t treat sex workers well!”
Angel is being trafficked. I cannot stress this enough. Angel is a trafficking victim. You’re not watching Avatar. You’re not watching Over the Garden Wall. You’re not watching Good Omens. It’s not subtle. It’s pretty fucking obvious. Amazon took a pan to your face repeatedly over this.
Even if we took out the owning of the souls bit (which should be enough of an argument), beating your employee into submission? Not giving any safe words? Not allowing breaks? Filming under the influence? Finding a vulnerable person (man in this case, but could be anyone) and love bombing them until they trust you and are in love with you only to pimp them out? That’s trafficking. That’s right out of the handbook. Angel is being trafficked.

A gentle reminder for systems with severe trauma:
It’s okay to exist in spaces meant for systems, even if other systems’ trauma is not the same as yours.
It’s okay if you know your trauma was severe but dissociative barriers prevent you from knowing details or being able to name exactly what happened.
It’s okay if you struggle to relate to other systems who do not have the same trauma as you.
It’s completely valid to choose to share your trauma in safe spaces, as long as you follow the rules laid out to keep that space safe (i.e. TWs/spoilers)
It’s completely valid to choose not to share your story online or even acknowledge online that your experience constitutes as “severe.”
Posts showing support for systems “without severe trauma” or whose trauma “wasn’t ‘that bad’” do not invalidate your trauma. You are valid.
It’s okay if you’re not as high-functioning as other systems seem to be. (And remember — the internet version of someone doesn’t usually show an accurate picture of someone’s struggles)
It’s okay if you’re really high-functioning when the world seems to think you shouldn’t be. Your trauma, your system, and your experiences are valid.
Having a very large or polyfragmented system is valid. Having a smaller system is valid. Not knowing the size of your system is valid.
Struggling with severe symptoms is really hard and even when you’re dealing with that, I see you, I hear you, I believe you.
It’s okay if you do not have the bandwidth to support other systems or hear their trauma history, even if their experiences are different.
It is not your job to educate people on severe trauma unless you choose to make it your job. Do not let anyone else assign that task to you.
It’s okay to feel left out, forgotten, or invalidated seeing posts circulating that leave you out specifically. Your feelings matter. Others have their posts. This is yours.
I believe you. I wish you healing. You deserve help. You can get through this.
Please drink some water, put on your favorite shirt, look for shapes in clouds, or do something else that makes you feel present and safe. You deserve to feel present and safe.

What Is Clocking?
Clocking is an ability many RAMCOA survivors have to varying degrees. They can tell when someome is a RAMCOA victim. Certain survivors (typically high ranking ones) can clock victims down to their rank and possibly branch. Less common are the ones who can clock victims down to their role and sect. Low ranking victims can typically clock those who are superior to them.
Logically, this is a useful ability as sects can have thousands of members and you can't possibly remember all of them. Being able to tell who your superiors are will help keep you alive. Similarly, you can also tell when someone is lower than you/"usable". Programmers can clock people to know who they can exploit.
It is a real ability and dangerous people can and will use it to their advantage. It is not fear mongering, it is the horrifying truth of being a RAMCOA survivor. We are not safe anywhere, pretending we are will not protect us or help us survive. Being aware of the dangers can help you try to keep yourselves as safe as possible.
Here are some ways to protect yourself: keep yourself as grounded as possible while outside and avoid switching to vulnerable alters, don't talk to strangers and stay away from anyone who gives you a weird feeling.
Saying clocking isn't real won't help you if a programmer spots you.

A Florida contractor was sentenced to nearly a decade in prison and ordered to repay more than a dozen workers he forced into slavery.
Bladimir Moreno, a Bartow farm labor contractor, pleaded guilty Dec. 29 to conspiracy to commit forced labor and racketeering charges, after federal prosecutors said he recruited workers in Mexico, made them pay to work for Los Villatoros Harvesting and lied about their housing and pay once they arrived in Florida, reported the Miami Herald.
LVH and its recruiters manipulated the workers by withholding their pay, violated federal law by moving them to an unapproved Florida farm, and then intermittently to Kentucky and Indiana, to harvest watermelons for Wachula’s Carlton Farms, which does business as Sun Fresh Farms, and that fruit was sold to Walmart and Kroger.
Other melons packed in Indiana were by a distributor to chains such as Kroger, Schnucks and Sam’s Club.

HC-DID trafficking survivor is having no idea at all any information about, if other kids were involved, if we met them, if it was a group or just something our dad was doing? No clue how "organized" it really was but KNOWING there were other men other then the father who "trained" us and even deeper things we dont understand that has nothing to do with sex and instead fighting? Was it children fighting too? I wouldnt be surprised since they did do cock fighting. Having just no leads, no idea where to even start since it was in DR we were programed and then we were taken back to America to be sold around. We were never told locations and most of the memories that would hold landmarked info are all locked away in fragments and alters were unable to reach (maybe for the better right now but still) Being so confused on even if you SHOULD look around to find any info out. IS there even any info? If a cop asked us anything about what happened what could we even provide them other then our fathers name? Witch isnt even his REAL NAME we only just found out a year or so ago!

Greg Abbott is an actual demon. He’s caused immeasurable harm to so many during his reign of terror and the fact that he just got re-elected is beyond me.

Capitalism has always relied on social processes of abjection, and frequently they have been secured and perpetuated in and through systems of forced labour and migrancy. However much we tend to think of these periods of coerced labour as critical to capitalism’s historical establishment, the current era makes it clear that unfree labour is not a relic of the past. Indeed, capital is not only increasingly reliant on migration, but specifically on the transnational flow of people who are deprived of full citizenship, people who to varying degrees comprise an unfree global workforce. 
Susan Ferguson and David McNally in OpenDemocracy. Capitalism’s unfree global workforce
Neoliberal migration and border regimes instantiate a de facto forced labour regime. Migration is increasingly key to providing capital’s precarious workforce, but unfree labour has long been central to global capitalism.

If someone were to ever ask what radicalized me, I'm honestly unsure what I would say at this point.
Was it the moment my best friend of several years, who'd been by my side through /everything/, cut me off for my voting choice in 2016?
... Was it the moment I realized people were actively pushing sexuality onto children and into their education systems out of pure intellectual laziness and selfishness?
... Was it the moment I was deemed evil for my skin color?
... was it the moment I watched people around me use the LGB banner, which I was finally growing to accept in myself, to endorse mental illness and children's fantasy and to warp the laws of the world to that illness?
Was it the moment I realized they're mutilating our children and spinning them into mutilating themselves?
...or was it the moment I was labeled a domestic terrorist for standing against these things?
Was it the moment I watched my government turn and kill its civilians in real time rather than in a documentary or history book?
Was it the moment I watched my government turn its back on this nation's people, the moment I realized the economy has been manipulated into a death system?
The moment I watched my government and neighbors condemn everyone with a dissenting voice against forced injection with a substance they have ADMITTED was never a cure or treatment?
... Was it the moment I watched police officers arrest my brother and tell me they knew he didn't commit the crime, but that they'd gotten their confession anyway?
Was it the moment I watched a nation-wide outcry over pedophilia and sex trafficking be forgotten overnight?
The moment I watched the government call a fraud my president while they openly admitted to fraud and surrounded him with soldiers?
... Was it the moment I learned of all the crimes of the past, from MK-Ultra to fucking Waco and more?
The moment I watched the world make my husband the butt of its every joke and the target of its hatred, all for his sex?
The moment they pushed their narrative into every form of media until it became so obvious that I could no longer consume entertainment media enjoyably?
Was it the moment they destroyed my livelihood, my friendships, my prospects?
Or was it the moment they began flooding my nation with people who have begun to rampantly do just that to all of my neighbors?
Was it the moment I realized they intend to control all of our transactions and currency, or the moment I learned they monitor us in our own homes?
Was it the moment I realized they're restricting and sabotaging our food supply?
... When was I radicalized?
...I never was.
The rest of the world was radicalized against people like me.
...I am not the villain.
Still... I wonder whether that ever mattered, or ever will again.

The Community & Oversimplification Of HC-DID
I'm making this to talk more in-depth about the aspects of HC-DID that people seem to forget about because I'm sick and tired of people oversimplifying what it means to be RAMCOA. So here's a reminder that HC-DID is nowhere near C-DID.
So the key part of HC-DID is the programming and ritual abuse, it's what makes a system highly complex, but that says nothing about the results, so let's talk about the aspects of HC-DID that come with being highly complex.
HC includes:
- Alters that can be killed by deleting their programs
- Severe and chronic dissociation that makes it extremely difficult if not almost impossible to function
- Alters (programmed) with paraphilias like pedophilia, necrophilia, zoophilia, etc
- Alters programmed with different disorder such as personality disorders
- Therapy interference programming such as eating disorder programming that takes focus away from the RAMCOA/trauma
- More complex layers and goupings (e.g. layers within layers, subsystems within subsystems within subsystems and so on)
- Programmed dissociative structures like concentration camps, mental asylums, carousels, castles, forests, etc
- Internal (sex) trafficking and child sexual abuse
- Extreme and chronic polyfragmentation to hundreds or more commonly, thousands of parts
- Programs such as delta that make you kill or harm people when activated, beta that make you engage in sexual activity when activated, fractaline that make you split at any stressors usually resulting in tens or hundreds of thousands of parts, etc
- Internal handlers and programmers that exist to keep you tortured and programmed
- The ability to change amnesia levels resulting in presenting as different system types, such as C-DID, OSDD-1, DID, or even as a singlet
- P-DID or OSDD-1 presenting shell with no identity programmed to hide the system
- The ability to clock RAMCOA, OA, MC, RA, and other variations of survivors as well as dissociative people in general and sect members to know who is superior to you and who is useable
- Subtypes of HC-DID like Monarch, Alice In Wonderland, Bluebird, French Revolution, etc
- Chronic programmed denial periods/Speaking about your memories of chronic trauma followed with a feeling of fakeness amd 'that can't be real'
- Alters that exist in different tracks of the brain
- Mood swings that are much more severe than in the other dissociative disorders, for people with DID, their moods change too often for it to be considered bipolar type 2 but with HC, it’s constant sudden depression, anxiety, mania-esque symptoms, hallucinations, etc. it’s like suddenly developing a mood or a psychotic disorder out of nowhere for 3 months
- And much more because HC-DID is that complex
