on top of the obvious problems all these seem like mk triggers- who is the targeted audience? Us?

I haven't watched any of them, and what you've said here is the reason why. I feel very sensitive to any form of manipulation right now and I'm feeling ultra paranoid. The thought of these videos makes me feel nauseous. Makes me feel helpless.

There's definitely a need to exercise caution when you are dealing with this type of material because the fact is that it just isn't healthy for the mind to over expose yourself to it.

When I was new to the topic I was enraged and sickened but I was voraciously searching for material so I could essentially "make up my mind" because at first you aren't sure what to think. It put me in a major funk for a couple of days and I didn't want to eat and I had a hard time sleeping. Now that I'm a little bit desensitized, I can handle it better. But some people might not be able to handle it at all, AND THAT IS OK. We shouldn't expect everyone to be able to. Those who can research should research. Those who believe, but feel unable to cope with delving into the material could perhaps talk about it with families and friends instead, or encourage people they know to go and make up their own minds. We're all operating at different levels here and those who are too sensitive or unwilling should not be made, ever, to feel guilty about it. I strongly believe that they could do themselves real harm by not listening to their bodies demands to put it down and walk away when they need to and the tougher among us need to be cognizant of that.

these videos should fill you with righteous indignation my friend, do NOT dispare. When you think of this video or these children fill yourself with the rage and know that if you try hard enough, you can help. You are not helpless unless you choose to be
