[Serious] How Do I Help My Friend?
#38
RE: How Do I Help My Friend?
No they encourage isolationism. If someone can accept that then it's far less self-destructive, especially since they disagree with the organization. Isolationism, especially for nihilists, does have a strong tendency for self destructive behaviors. I believe this stems from a loss of hope, exacerbated by the isolationism, which is anti-thetical to leaving said organization.

isolationism/alienation encourages destructive mental states, but the goal was to separate from the organization, it's an illogical conclusion that his is a bad outcome. The fact that someone chooses to self-harm instead of accepting the isolation that they supposedly want, is all on the actor not the organization.
"There ought to be a term that would designate those who actually follow the teachings of Jesus, since the word 'Christian' has been largely divorced from those teachings, and so polluted by fundamentalists that it has come to connote their polar opposite: intolerance, vindictive hatred, and bigotry." -- Philip Stater, Huffington Post
