To paraphrase: "It's the social hierarchies, stupid."

AND: Wealth hoarders love social hierarchies, it keeps the focus off all the wealth they are hoarding.

Big picture/systemically focused, so I have a low tolerance for folks who are corporate shades of blue, and nearly no tolerance for folks to the right of that.

I'm happy to interact, but I don't auto follow back and use manual follow requests to try to keep this platform human to human.

Peace!

The world is in trouble due to a fairly small minority of grandiose, mostly male, self hating, abusive assholes.

okay, saying it's "simply" a resurgence from ideas already embedded in the culture is overstating it, but only a little.

But truly: what I said really does NOT contradict other writings about fascism… ideas about domination…ummm, ARE firmly rooted in the "liberal world order's empire building" projects, along with more well meaning stuff.

It's easy to illustrate. White male soldiers came home from killing Nazis and yet continued to oppress women, POC, etc.

sorry, disagree. Narrow definitions of words have often been helped by expanded ideas about what they encompass. For example, take the expansion of the word "democracy"

All of these large scale things are -dynamics- and dynamics ebb, flow and fluctuate in other ways, like a river. When the Mississippi is overflowing do we call it something other than a river?

When I scroll through this feed you and I have created, I pretty regularly read about books and authors I have never heard of. So for discovery purposes, my feed is doing a great job.

Just finished The Anthropocene Reviewed, By John Green.

It's a series of essays that are accessible (I mean that in the best sense), and thought provoking. Yet the essays are also often good summations of thoughts shared by many of us at this moment in time. I give it four stars.
