You've heard of doctors without borders: The rich float above national boundaries. The rich have loyalty to their class, not to their country. #ShahidBolsen #middlenation

An american billionaire has more in common with a south African billionaire than the average American. The rich 🤑 use national boundaries to keep the poor in line. #shahidbolsen

More blame: the bigot blames poor Mexicans when his employer’s plant closes and moves to Mexico. The owner blames market conditions or damn unions for leaving him no choice but to move the plant. #challengethewest #westunderquestion #decolonizenow #critiqueofthewest #antiracist #antiracism

Instead of stopping the abuse by any means necessary, they join with the abuser like #trump in doing violence to themselves.

Something interesting happens when you combine an abuser’s like #trump propensity to blame with the monopolization of the victim’s perception: the victim comes to agree with the abuser, that all problems are actually the victim’s fault.

The sixth characteristic is that abusers like #trump and #maga blame others for their problems.

Civilization has achieved a completely unprecedented and nearly perfect monopolization of our perception, at least for those of us in the industrialized world.

If the abuser like #trump and #maga is able to mediate all information that reaches the victim, the victim will no longer be able to conceptualize that there is any other way to be. At this point the abuser will have achieved more or less total control.

No outside influence must be allowed to break the spell. There can be only one way to perceive and to be in the world, and that is the abuser’s way like #trump and #maga

That is one reason abusers like #trump and #maga cut off victims from family and friends: so that in time victims will have no standard other than the abusers’ by which to judge the abusers’ worldviews and behavior.

One of the most common and necessary steps taken by an abuser like #trump in order to control a victim is to monopolize the victim’s perception. #challengethewest #westunderquestion #decolonizenow #critiqueofthewest

Abusers merely isolate victims from other resources. Far moreso even than this, civilization isolates all of us—ideologically and physically—from the source of all life.

That’s also one of the reasons this culture must kill all non-civilized peoples, both human and nonhuman: in order to preclude the possibility of our escape.

We set up cityscapes where we see no free and wild beings. We see concrete, steel, asphalt. Even the trees in cities are in cages. Everything mirrors our own confinement. Everything mirrors our own internal deadness.

But the parasitism of the dominant culture is endless, because once you cut yourself off from the free flow of mutually permeable life you have to get your life back somehow, artificially.

To some extent it can come from sucking the labor of the poor, and to some extent it can come from exploiting the bodies of animals and people treated like animals. The exploiting of the bodies of women gives a lot of energy. #challengethewest #westunderquestion #decolonizenow #critiqueofthewest

Abusive relationships are a parody of love. Cities are parodies of communities, and citizenship is a parody of being a member of a functioning community. #challengethewest #westunderquestion #decolonizenow #critiqueofthewest
