And many people who were bullied or made to feel weak
have never recovered their own power, which is innate,
and thus feel the need to either be an oppressor or to
side with oppression.
The problem is that we live in an oppressive society.
Many Democrats and humane people often collude with
this oppression because much of the oppression is
disguised as part of the social fabric that is taken for
granted as the best way to be.
The best examples of this are all in top-down situations --
businesses, schools, sports, the arts ... and that's because
money is at the heart of it all.
I think the best kind of society would not be a democracy
but rather a cooperacy.
I think that's the way it was, but at some point changed
to become mechanistic and based on money and control
of land and other people.
This can't work at all in the long run. It must devolve into
chaos and dysfunction; and with climate change in the mix --
and nothing to conrol it-- welll... the future hardly bears
thinking about.
