Is freedom the ultimate goal?
I think it's weird that this has happened repeatedly:
I start to believe that somebody wants to help, and is open to change and to making things better, and then I get the rude awakening that this is really not the case.
It's multiple kinds of people who seem to be putting on this kind of performance that I need to stop being in denial about, I guess. And the white people who are men the best at putting on this performance, for some reason, in my life.
Just one example: let's say I have a musical relative who used to be easy to talk to but now all of a sudden he can't be any more because his Patriarchal Society raised him to feel like he should work hard and then act like a lord who doesn't need to know too much about anything else. And he needs to align himself with all sorts of masculine behaviors at all costs. At the cost of cutting off other human beings and at the cost of denying other human beings full humanity. He has to be in denial about the abuse that happened in the family, he has to be in denial about the favoritism, he has to be in denial about how self - sedation via materialism feels like discrimination.
It's just too much information to deal with.
Somebody else has to deal with the information.
Who is that? Who has to deal with that?
People run away from things that they don't want to know about and then they take advantage of the patriarchal system and the way that best serves them. That's not a great way to live a life. That's like you think you're an orphan and you're just grabbing at whatever you can get while you're in survival mode. That's not a way of life that a lot of people can aspire to, honestly.
