When We Don't Feel Powerful?
"Yeah, this has been going on for decades and probably his first victim was my dad. And unfortunately, as I’ve also written, a lot of people mistake his cruelty for strength. There’s something just so cool and macho about causing harm to people over whom you have power. And he also enjoys humiliating people, as did my grandfather, but we’ve seen it in the way he talks so dismissively about service members who’ve died in his illegal war of choice, and not just illegal war of choice, but deeply, deeply misguided and criminal, in my view. We see it in the way he dismisse" Mary L Trump
It's only cool and macho if you have no conscience. Sometimes when you join a group or movement you are asked to do something or several things you hadn't considered. Such as how humans survived, how did women become "witches" and were burned when we become supportive to man? How is it so easy to become a threat to the sysem within patriarchal values?
This probably took hundreds of years to develop and began with the supremacy of ownership (land, corporations, beauty, talent).
None of these things dominate in the long run but while they are used by other owners, lies, imagnination and hopes become sparkling gems in the imagination.
It is the work of orginary people who can imagine. Who care about others.
