NRA Convention and the Human Imagination

 


“This is not a gun problem. This is a mental health problem, this is a social problem, this is a cultural problem, this is a spiritual problem,” Trump claimedhttps://truthout.org/articles/republicans-attend-nra-convention-the-same-weekend-as-9-mass-shootings/?utm


It's a mental health problem when politicians can't regulate gun laws yet make abortion illegal. It's a social problem when people of conscience can't break through the ceiling of profit and see how it is destroying the most powerful country in the world. It's a spiritual problem when the gender who carries life to the point of birth is made a plaything to show, criticize, rape and ridicule for the slightest misdemeanour, yet the gun lobby raises rights to own guns more than rights to justice. Life simply becomes the meat of the economy.

Patriarchy has been at war with life for centuries, building temples to warriors, teaching history as a series of battles, winners in the determination to kill and murder, to rule over, to trade in slaves, cut down forests, build highways, invent weapons of mass destruction, systems of the law that are beyond comprehending in terms of outcomes.

The only recognizable changes keep punishing the vulnerable and rewarding the powerful.

If God is the highest element valued by men, its POWER OVER EVERY THING NO MATTER HOW IT HURTS. When man takes control he loves everything that elevates his achievements - even climate change and mass starvation.
