It's not individual, evil men who are controlling us

It's western patriarchy

A system that trains us from birth, through school, social media, entertainment, economics and industry to promote and reward Western, patriarchal hegemony at the expense of our relationships, planet and happiness. What’s not to like?

Compassion hating, muddled and unhappy Jordon Peterson accuses the Canadian government of censorship when his professional body of clinical psychiatry objects to him calling people pricks or telling them to kill themselves if they think humans are destroying the planet. He says that shrinking populations (which is due to a country’s increasing GDP and the education of women) threatens civilisation. We damn well better learn to adapt to a deceasing population then JP; because we bloody well aren’t going to stop the emancipation.

JP also says that most of the ‘posturing’ (very telling) on global warming is an attack on capitalism and western patriarchy. What’s so great about the western patriarchy anyway JP?

Having to assert one’s manhood by more and more plundering, destroying or engineering of the natural world? Shaming boys and men (and girls and women who want to succeed in the system) to kill parts of their emotional selves and go against their nature? Medicalising mental and physical health, disease mongering and creating illness in peoples with vaccines and drugs? Fearing being seen as unmanly above all else; so ridiculing natural healing, compassion and vegans? Being conditioned to form an identity based on domination and superiority to women and non-white races? Or forming an identity based on inferiority? Placing immense value on material wealth as a reward for aggression and stepping on others?

Instead of countries being able to negotiate access to resources; Sweden and Finland gang up with the US/NATO to fight Russia for the oil under the melting ice. The more China brokers peace and multipolarity, the more grumpy the US gets at not being top dog anymore. In the West we are controlled by emotionally stunted children in the bodies of adults.

‘They' have very successfully got us discrediting each other with accusations of racism and sexism. 'They' attack anyone who dissents from the narrative. 'They' accused Bhakti who spoke out against the jabs as being anti-semitic. ‘They' smeared the feminists protest for the right to women only spaces as transphobic.

People who ARE actually rude, racist, sexist and have allegations of sexual assault against them, which if anything enhance their non-PC appeal, such as Jordon Peterson, Jeremy Clarkson and Andrew Tate do very well out of the system and are rewarded, because they promote the white (even though AT is mixed race), western hegemonic patriarchy.

Who are the 'they' who run things? The people who have best adapted to the aggressive, materialistic, dominatory system. You could say its biggest victims. Many people think that because I’m attacking the patriarchy it means that I think women (educated, conditioned, given power by and operating with the white, hegemonic patriarchy) would do a better job of running things. D’ah! The fact that I have to explain what feminism is and isn’t shows the extent of the propaganda.

Why are there no nice people, man or woman, at the heart of the Empire? Because we’re all brought up under white western patriarchy that punishes ‘weakness’, compassion, fear and tears and rewards heartless dominance (or submission) over other animals, non-whites and women, instead of valuing mutual respect and co-operation.

The Western, hegemonic, neocolonial, suppressive, cruel patriarchy is the greatest threat to our survival, health and happiness.

I suggest "Our rulers" are just as unhappy as we are. There is no 'cabal' of wicked men cackling into the night as they count their money; that is part of the narrative too. Our 'rulers' are just as, if not more so, trapped by the capitalist patriarchy as we are.

Our rulers may well be rich- but we all know that money doesn't buy love nor the approval of the absentee father or stressed out mother that many so desperately seek.

We don't need a revolution to overturn these 'rulers'; we would just replace them with more damaged people. We need feminism (NB this doesn't just mean more women in power!) to grow a society that doesn't reward heartlessness, domination and exploitation but rather one that is based on mutual respect and that acknowledges that compassion is a strength not a weakness. We need an economy based on care and service and not on profit and growth.

This doesn't happen quickly nor violently.

It takes time and lots of love and forgiveness.
