Okay. Off the bat. This is not personal. Most of my topics that even have the word abuse – if sparked by an individual, have no names and no descriptors.

If the word abuse turns you into a froth you need to take a very long look at your navel, actually.

Yes my Malapropisms are deliberate you….

Anyway.

Then get some therapy.

If your answer is to someone who’s been an American for 25 years (more than half her life) to “go back to her country” where do you think you’re sending me, The Bay Area?

I mean sure there are parts of America that would like to toughen up states rights. But we have a weird issue with that.

While indeed stronger blue states would be pretty awesome, wealth is concentrated in Blue states so the rest of the federal government relies on taxes from those wealthy film executives. And tech gurus.

So stop your bitching about the federal government right the fuck now because that’s not your money they’re staying afloat with.

And while California sometimes wants out, the rest of the country can’t afford it. Yes, they need your water, but you need there money. So it’s not practical for anyone.

I was asked if concentrated wealth was a good thing – like financial security and morality have anything to do with each other.

It’s just human nature. It’s not necessarily good or bad.

Sharing is good.

Abusing is bad.

And you tend not to get hoarding by those who aren’t also abusive arseholes. So I’m not willing to separate it till I see a third option for real.

Some people are indeed choosy about their philanthropic donations – just like senators who only vote positively if it’s a pet project.

This country is annoyingly capitalist. It causes problems. Burning it down is not the solution. We need to Identify what’s causing it to spiral out of control and address that.

Just keep morality away from money because rich people manipulate standardized morality to stay abusive arses.

We divorce money from morality- just as we have from a diet being good – maybe we can even the playing field.

Too much without any regard for other humans is not good, okay?

But that doesn’t usually happen unless that individual is abusive!

So let’s focus there.

Most maladaptive behaviors are a result of normalized abuse – either continuing it, protecting oneself from it, or both.

American society has a huge issue of Abuse and it’s cultural not a part of human nature.

Territoriality is, hoarding is, hierarchy is.

These are not good things.

Nature isn’t always the best excuse for trying to ignore the idea of nurture.

A lot of times I go with explaining that some things are human nature and to work with the way we are, not against.

But some stuff is pure crap that evolution is kindly trying to do away with, anyway. Human sensitivity is on the rise and that’s good!

No wonder people have become “helicopter” parents. Their sensitive caring children are such a delight, and the world was so painful and nasty to Gen X growing up, we just want to protect those whom we can.

All sensitive caring people are a delight. Have you noticed how happy you are to meet one? How pissed you are when manipulative so-and-so’s try to put a lambs cloth over a voracious appetite to control?

Actually kind, sweet people are a true relief!

And some of us are so shat on nasty rumors follow us from jealous, abusive arses, we feel strangled by them.

Stop warning me away and silence your tongues. If everyone would let it drop it would fade. Because it’s far from true and it’s the cleanest most obvious sign someone wanted death, not close to death. But actual suicide. Do you really want to be a part of that?

That’s because I am probably the only particularly nice, kind, sweet person raised to also breathe fire at abusive twats.

I would like to be on “Angel” Mode all the time thank you. But the Fae side is actually a relaxed Dragon and it’s mighty big if pressed.

As relevant to this morning. Heart of an Angel, mind of a fae/dragon, words of a human. Why can’t I be 3.5 archetypes?

But I’m all dragon when protecting others.

And abusive twats just have to dig claws in and keep me from being able to help this country grow and change and return to idealism but without the blinders.

Maybe evolve into something new and beautiful. Like a country filled with practicality and hope. A new perspective because we are changing as a species and need new language.

It goes beyond democratic socialism.

It’s the seeking of balance and FairPlay. It’s the desire to strengthen protections for the vulnerable, and protect the sensitivity of those who have it. It’s cultural not political.

Maybe it’s not just idealism or futuristic thinking. Maybe it’s real compassion – not a version of self betterment – but a societal view that we take care of each other.

We need a new word really, and while writers are usually the ones to create and use them I can’t think of anything evocative enough.

The passion of kindness as a culture would be called?

Rousseau-ism?

I like it. Thank you. It’s a jolly good start. The French prosecuted Sarkozy for financial crime. An ex president. Maybe they’re not all bad?

It was suggested to me, and quite a good one! Keep building sensitive souls. Abusive arses don’t want you in power but I do.
