Thanks Sher. I hear you and will adopt the term liberationist to describe the place I find myself in, a former leftie. I appreciate the historic perspective and the need to speak up when the spectacle involves defining who must be cured as in changed. "Liberation is about refusing to let systems of control define who we are or what our lives are worth."
Sher: Thank you again for such lucid and rational thinking and allowing us in on it.
Humans... barely out of the jungle and easily duped back in with promises of identity, protection, belonging, property, success, ownership.... Territorialism in our blood contaminates any chance of being a humane, instead of a human. I never thought I would get to the place were the word "human" would jangle my nerves. Humane is my goal, since human has become entirely a progression of more ingenious ways to dominate, control, and own -- the worst of the jungle. Thus, I am a humaneist and a humaneitarian. It is, as Schweitzer said long ago, deep reverence for life and the life force.
I think we under-appreciate how much of our new jungle is way worse than the old one, with highly organized, well-situated, powerful forces far beyond how it was... where you could at least fight for your survival and values against much smaller hordes... and, individualism was at least minimally honored...
