The #MAGA #dollhouse: On #privilege, and how #dominator #culture shapes the self
#whitecatgrove

..."We all have constellations of privilege and pain – areas that put us ahead of others, and areas that push us to the back of the line. In the West, a dark-skinned person faces systems designed to discriminate – but, as an individual, may also have great wealth or a powerful job, for example. And if we restrict discussions of privilege to race or gender, for example,."...

Rights don't matter.

2 judges have already been arrested.

I think the time has passed for us to just point out their ills. We've been doing it about #MAGA for 10 years now. They revel in how it annoys us. They think we're cucks.

We know they're irrational. They don't care. They don't think like us. Get. In. The. Streets.

Plan Civil War 2.0, unless you know past fascists who left non-violently? Know anyone in the military?

Truths, so much irrationality.

I think the time has passed for us to point out their hypocrisy. We've been doing it about #MAGA for 10 years now. They revel in how it annoys us. They think we're cucks.

We know they're irrational. They don't care. They don't think like us. Get. In. The. Streets.

I don't want anybody getting away with this crap by saying they were just following orders. Every single person involved in abducting these people or perpetrating illegal arrests - from top to bottom - needs to of course be given the due process they've deprived others of, and then soundly convicted and sent to serve serious jail time. Make Fascists Afraid Again. #uspol #maga

Well well well... I heard on the radio this morning that our duplicitous two-faced #MAGA enabling corporation shielding AIPAC sponsored #DINO (MGP of WA-3) had a town hall last night, was openly booed, briskly escorted by security.

Definitely gave my Friday morning a welcome boost 🌠

Francis was hated just as fervently by a powerful cabal inside the Vatican working hand in hand with MAGA and super-rich right-wing US Catholics who want to buy the papacy in order to control it.

The anti-deep state MAGA crowd are joined at the hip with that Vatican deep-state cabal.

Dettmer concludes,

That's all we've ever been allowed to teach. And the repression started well before Trump was elected.

Good luck teaching anything even remotely supportive of the Arab or Muslim experience. Forget anything that even mentions the word Palestine. And that's in the "liberal" San Francisco Bay Area.

There are already other places in the U.S., like Florida, where you can be fired simply for saying the word "Gay."

And who remembers hearing anything in school about Marx, socialism, anarchism, that wasn't completely negative? Anything about MLK's support of labor unions and opposition to the Vietnam War? General Strikes? The Tulsa pogrom? The Battle of Blair Mountain or the Great Train Strike of 1877 (the 2 largest insurrections and 2 largest labor uprisings in the U.S. since the Civil War)???

Dozens of books banned from school libraries and from the curriculum.

“Trump was the logical outcome of the myth of cowboy individualism embraced by the #Republicans since President Ronald Reagan… In that myth, a true American is a man who operates on his own, outside the community… Government is his enemy, according to the myth…”

“Their rhetoric worked: from 1981 to 2021, $50 trillion moved from the bottom 90% of Americans to the top 1%…”

A #MustRead from historian Heather Cox Richardson.

Trump was the logical outcome of the myth of cowboy individualism embraced by the Republicans since President Ronald Reagan rose to the White House by celebrating it. In that myth, a true American is a man who operates on his own, outside the community. He needs nothing from the government, works hard to support himself, protects his wife and children, and asserts his will by dominating others. Government is his enemy, according to the myth, because it takes his money to help undeserving freeloaders and because it regulates how he can run his business. A society dominated by a cowboy individual is a strong one. Leaders who pushed this ideology knew it attracted voters. Once they were in power, they could slash government programs and cut taxes and regulations that kept wealth and opportunity accessible to poorer Americans. They argued that a society works best if wealth and power are concentrated among a few elites, who can direct capital more efficiently than government bureaucrats can. Their rhetoric worked: from 1981 to 2021, $50 trillion moved from the bottom 90% of Americans to the top 1%. But those same people talking about individualism to secure votes also knew that the world has never worked this way. In the twenty-first century, U.S security and the economy depended more than ever on coalitions and government investment. As the middle class hollowed out, Republicans hammered on the idea that government action was socialism and the government was a swamp of waste..
