It was always a tool of indoctrination. As it turns out, if you say something often enough, true or not, you tend to believe it.
To make it make sense, ask yourself "was this ever really true?" And, of course nothing is perfect, but what I mean to invoke is the idea that perhaps it was never even remotely true.
Everyone on the outside is definitely wondering what the point was if you guys don't uphold it.
We thought it was a nuts ritual before but now it's just cultish.
Well, it appears that it's becoming popular. Hopefully you don't have to experience this firsthand.
