@lemmy@fmhy.ml any idea why I can’t see that post in-app by going to RenWillis’ timeline, but why I can see it via a public web browser?

“Does anyone know why this is happening?”

Yes. Thom Hartmann and others have written about this. It started after the civil rights, antiwar, feminist, peacenik, environmental, etc movements of the 1960s and early 70s.

The Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. was assassinated specifically because he was uniting poor Whites with Blacks, calling for Socialism, and launching the Poor People’s Campaign.

It was a conscious, deliberate response by the elite — against the economic and political warfare conducted by the middle class in order to eliminate the classist systemz of oppression.

Written in 1971 to the U.S. Chamber of Commerce

Not that you actually asked for advice.

Maybe you — or maybe others — would welcome these resources ( maybe)

“Five Stages of Grief”

“The Power of Vulnerability”

NVC lexicon list of universal feelings and needs

and. Q: How might one define ‘emotions’ ? A: One definition I like is: “Emotions are: a physical, felt sensation in the body. ”

So we need to FEEL them (not analyze, like I did), to heal.

(and there’s supporting research done in this area too)
