PATTERNS OF SUPPRESSION
Patterns are fascinating and informative. Despotic tendencies break down into components that can be less identifiable as suppressive. These components may seem individual but may also culminate in a common result. Several such components follow—
*Climate Change seems irrefutable and most people acknowledge that industrialization aggravated weather patterns to the extent of danger to humanity and the Earth*War exacerbates Climate Change in untold ways*War is an archaic holdout from past eras when hierarchy exploited human resources (people) and natural resources (environment) for personal promotion and gain*The extent to which women have been exploited to promote this system hasn’t been adequately addressed*Hierarchical enthusiasm for war has recently manifested again as the Republican/Democratic duopoly hyper-funded the Pentagon while neglecting build-back-better*The US educational system seems to teach less about citizenship and the ability to self-govern than about inculcation into compliance to capitalism*Capitalism is hierarchical and democracy is not hierarchical, but hierarchy continues to express the erroneous notion that they are the same*The USA is not, according to the US Constitution, a 2-Party system, elections should never be run by political Parties, and 3rd-Party voices should be heard*Private autonomy for women supports equality while public control of women perpetuates hierarchical control in a system that, therefore, can only be called patriarchal
One sees a pattern of exploitation of women and children and many men, in order to underpin a capitalistic hierarchical Establishment that is enriched at the expense of others not only in the USA, but around the globe. In a society that disregards local-community welfare for the sake of hierarchy, expressions of concern for life seems belied by war, poverty, and a predatory health care system.
One other important component to independence and self-definition is to have removed meat from one’s diet since 1990. Seldom touching on this FACT, it seems honest to include due to a growing interest as suggested in one’s twitter feed. As a part of self-defining away from exploitation, fear and pain, this path seems to resonate with many people. As one of those, one might as well say so.

These issues aren’t easy. But as exceptional human beings, should we tackle them rather than relax into the slovenliness of consumerism and supremacy? If humans have higher capacity for agency than animals, do we also have high responsibility?https://aeon.co/essays/human-exceptionalism-is-a-danger-to-all-human-and-nonhuman?utm_source=Aeon+Newsletter&utm_campaign=e4a2342da5-EMAIL_CAMPAIGN_2022_05_02_08_45&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_411a82e59d-e4a2342da5-70464341 –First, we might not always have a higher capacity for agency than other animals. We all lack the capacity for rational reflection early in life, some of us lose this capacity later in life, and some of us never develop this capacity at all. Meanwhile, many nonhuman animals have the capacity for memory, emotion, self-awareness, social awareness, communication, instrumental reasoning and more. Human and nonhuman agency thus overlap substantially in practice.Moreover, even when we do have a higher capacity for agency than other animals, this difference might be smaller than we think.–end of aeon info–That in 2022 matters for which we wage war are about material possessions when little to no attention is placed on matters of ethics or even ubiquitous survival.
https://countercurrents.org/2022/05/why-wont-europe-call-for-an-end-to-this-war/ –Manipulation of the news around Russia’s war on Ukraine is aimed to prevent public opinion from seeking a lasting peace for both Ukraine and the region. The aim of this information war is to prolong the war to serve the interests of those who wish to promote it. How does one know what constitutes facts and what constitutes lies, and how can one learn to explain events without being accused of justification?–end of countercurrents info–

Past years in which women were treated more similar to teenagers than adults, one remembers giggled whispers about trips to their gyn for a “clean out”. Roe vs. Wade ushered in an era of adult responsibility on the topic of choice in which women decided and acted upon the realities of each woman as to whether to procreate. Apparently the patriarchal censorship has begun again, in which women will be treated like children to be controlled by others and to function in dark corners.https://phr.org/news/if-confirmed-roe-reversal-would-represent-a-dangerous-and-appalling-rollback-of-human-rights/?CID=7015G000000NyU6QAK&ms=FY22_RapidResponse_Email4_FullFile_Cultiv&utm_medium=Email&utm_source=FullFile&utm_content=Email4&utm_term=Cultivation&utm_campaign=FY22_RapidResponse&dm_i=4GV7,H8ML,6I78M2,1UVBC,1 –“Abortion care is health care. The scientific literature shows that criminalizing abortion does not reduce the incidence of abortion; it only makes abortions less safe. The myriad consequences of overturning Roe would fall disproportionately on marginalized individuals who have limited means to seek safe and legal services, including low-income women and women of color. –end of phr info–

Nina Turner Will Consider INDEPENDENT 2024 Run
The US Constitution doesn’t seem to sanction elections run by political Parties, and to permit control of political debates by political Parties seems equally corrupt.

Centralization is the lifeblood of the R&D duopoly. It’s the way to enforce capitalism onto workers in 2022.
