That's SO mean to SO many children in this country. And also mean to grown-ups. And people who should be acting more like grown-ups, but they don't know how to, I guess. So some children are probably picking up the slack for these childish adult-bodied people right now.

So far it's been: artistic people, people who went on the road and got lonely, church going people, attending wedding people...
I'm also driving and being blinded by snow or other elements and seeing a Native American person by the roadside and needing to stop and pull over and learn something else, some other way.
I'm still really shocked by how some people who didn't seem that way not so long ago are still so aligned with Unwell Patriarchal White Supremacy.
"I hate thinking about X type of people" and "I hate X type of people" are pretty much practically the same thing.
I met Conan and Elon and these rich white men act differently but they hate others who don't act like them so much it doesn't even make sense. I think maybe it's because they were duped into being used by the Patriarchy and people who don't act like them remind them that not everyone got duped and that information is not something they can very handle well. Highly Controlling White Guys have to find people who prefer them to feel okay about themselves. They're very fragile.

"Rubio says white South Africans 'assimilate' easier when questioned about program" : NPR
"Disappointment and a pervasive feeling of broken-heartedness led me to begin thinking more deeply about the meaning of love in our culture. My longing to find love did not make me lose my sense of reason or perspective; it gave me the incentive to think more, to talk about love, and to study popular and more serious writing on the subject. As I poured over non-fiction books on the subject of love, I was surprised to find the vast majority of the revered books, ones used as reference works and even those popular as self-help books, have been written by men. All my life I have thought of love as primarily a topic women contemplate with greater intensity and vigor than anybody else on the planet. I still hold this belief even though visionary female thinking on the subject has yet to be taken as seriously as the thoughts and writings of men. Men theorize about love, but women are more often love's practitioners. Most men feel that they receive love and therefore know what it feels like to be loved. Women often feel we are in a constant state of yearning, wanting love but not receiving it."

All About Love: New Visions by bell hooks | Goodreads
"When I talked of love with my generation, I found it made everyone nervous or scared, especially when I spoke about not feeling loved enough. On several occasions as I talked about love with friends, I was told I should consider seeing a therapist. I understood that a few friends were simply weary of my bringing up the topic of love and felt that if I saw a therapist it would give them a break. But most folks were just frightened of what might be revealed in any exploration of the meaning of love in our lives.
Yet whenever a single woman over 40 brings up the topic of love, again and again the assumption, rooted in sexist thinking, is that she is desperate for a man. No one thinks she is simply passionately intellectually interested in the subject matter. No one thinks she is rigorously engaged in philosophical undertaking wherein she is endeavoring to understand the metaphysical meaning of love in everyday life. No, she is just seen as on the road to 'fatal attraction.'"

Like the kind of imagery of things that you want to happen or would be happy to enjoy, even if that stuff didn't necessarily happen when you would have wanted it to. The really good, enjoyable, happy things. The things that make human hearts light up. Some people got very challenging situations to navigate at a very young age in this life.
Anyways, being shallow and selfish and ignoring others' suffering sometimes is a very common ailment in humanity. Lots and lots of people have had this problem. It really is nothing new. But as you get in touch with your more sensitive side, because you start to expect more out of a human existence, feeling the effects of the shallowness and selfishness and suffering hurts! If more people want to heal, they can help each other out a lot more.

People are so brainwashed by patriarchal rape culture that they would rather do anything then talk about it. Like they would rather I take off my clothes and dance naked or behave like a really stupid person who sucks up to abusive men. It's like those are some of the things they would really enjoy me doing, rather than trying to talk about something that's important and that we should fix. If I ran off and didn't do the mature let's talk about it first thing and cheated on my husband, that would be delightful to people like them. Jesus, these people are assholes. They are really messed up. I hope their children do a better job than they did with the whole respecting the bodily autonomy of girls and women thing, because a lot of things are getting really intense for lots of the daughters of this nation right now, and they're talking about it more than they ever did before, too. Because why wouldn't they, when rights are being taken away from them that their mothers enjoyed.
Sexiness is really important to the shallow, immature Patriarchal parents who were trained to pander to rape culture in exchange for some rather temporary payoffs.
Sexiness is seeming so important to them, that they appear to need the most disenfranchised by rape culture daughters in our society to continuously be completely disrespected by people like them.
I don't know why they get so high off of this disturbing behavior. I think it might be something about how their Patriarchal role models instilled in sexism in them at a tender age, and it makes me want to throw up.
It's both fascinating and amazing how unkind and unhealthy an addiction to shallowness feels.
"Were you aware that being shallow could be more addictive to a human psyche than heroin? Have you ever tried to help a heroin addict? But kudos to the heroin addicts who weaned themselves off their addiction."
Shallowness seems to be the hill that some are willing to die on, like Custer's Last Stand, perhaps.

Still, I can't believe how much sexism and selfishness and white supremacist patriarchal cult behaviors can come out of one little region of the U.S.
They're capable of so much better, but they don't want to care about that, because they've tried to arrange things so that they will get maximal rewards in exchange for minimal amounts of respect for others. I guess that's just a survival strategy for some people. I don't know why some people end up like that. Did their dads role model weird patriarchal s*** and tell them to be more insensitive and patriarchal like them, possibly?
I think my soul is saying that maybe the spirits of higher healing don't want me to be a part of the unwell community of selfishness and sexism and ignorance right now.

It's really pathetic to actively feel the desire to squelch someone else's creativity, and act upon it, just so you can survive in a really f***** up, imbalanced system.
Sensitive people should not hang out with the people who got rewarded for acting like tools of the patriarchy. It's just not great for our health.

It has a positive account of a refugee experience.
******
"'Am I ten yet?' asked Anna. Papa looked at his watch.
'Ten years old exactly.' He hugged her. 'Happy, happy birthday, and very many happy returns!'
And just as he said it the boat's lights came on. There was only a sprinkling of white bulbs round the rails which left the deck almost as dark as before, but the cabin suddenly glowed yellow and at the back of the boat the ship's lantern shone a brilliant purply-blue.
'Isn't it lovely!' cried Anna, and somehow, suddenly, she no longer minded about her birthday and her presents. It seemed rather fine and adventurous to be a refugee, to have no home and not to know where one was going to live. Perhaps at a pinch it might even count as a difficult childhood like the ones in Gunther's book and she would end up by being famous.
As the boat streamed back to Zurich, she snuggled up to Papa and they watched the blue light from the ship's lantern trailing through the dark water behind them.
"' I think I might quite like being a refugee,' said Anna."

Like a lot of other people, I liked reading those stories where the spunky girl speaks out. But I know why people don't speak out about the abuse that happened in your families.
Because some of your families are filled with emotionally immature jerks who are going to treat you like crap if you try to have any truthful conversations with them about anything of importance. They will disown you, but they won't actually say they'll disown you. They'll just freeze you out.
And now you're like an honorary unseen immigrant who's supposed to wait on assholes like them all your all their lives and just remain unseen and in the shadows and grateful for the opportunity to serve their myopic, selfish egos.
Which is really just masking a lot of pain that they're not really ready to look at but that's too bad because some of us are being forced to look at it now. Not later. Not in the next life.
And some of us don't have a bunch of houses and land to comfort us and remind us that we did a good job and we played by the rules the right way. And we're "successful" now.
Meanwhile, what's happening to the value of the girls and women in this collapsing patriarchy? What are the men in charge doing right now?
And good for us for making excuses for the sexual predator dads who are always more important than all the daughters you guys don't want to think about. Really? Because The Patriarchy hates it so much when you have feelings and think about people like that. Why? Why is it so?
It's either because there were boys in the bar (when I used to work next to one) and they had feelings too...

Actually, I don't know anything about "Born Slippy" though. I missed that. Maybe I'm too old?
How could you put so much energy into propping up the unwell patriarchy just to have a career? Could you not see any other way?
The sad thing about the fascism is that it's happening because it's within the people. And the most vulnerable humans in society suffer the most immediate consequences. And it's hard for the more sensitive people to know about that right now. It's feeling very hurtful, very much of the time.
Drastic things are happening and I thought the artistic people would want to address the things and grow and change for real. Not just act like, I don't know, self-obsessed party animals... Oh and the worst thing is when you say something like that because then they just act out and exaggerate their behaviors even more, just like little children. Just like children who never grew up. Real world adults with responsibilities and land ownership and mortgages and everything, and they're still childish.
I hope some people's peculiarly Patriarchal ways seem really worth it to them because I think they look very silly and like they're kind of settling for less than what they could be choosing right now. I think my heart hurts about it sometimes, too.
Seeing potential in people making progress more quickly can be a many-splendored and sometimes heart-wrenching endeavor.

I'm kind of on a "change is most possible after you get it all out of your system" Journey. Just think of everything that you thought was possible when you knew less. Then you learned harsh lessons and seemed to know too much and then you struggled with the knowledge. But I don't know why, but some of the knowledge doesn't seem quite as heavy of a burden to carry now????
Also, I know that no matter what you do, sometimes people will say "B****" and "So-and-so is just being a victim" because they were also raised in a very misogynistic Patriarchal culture and I'm sorry for them if that's as far as they can go in this lifetime.
