It saddens me so many millennials and zoomers were instructed – as children in public schools – that the world is entirely adversarial power dynamics and if one entity is successful it’s at the innate expense of a flippantly defined victimized group. This zero sum reduction of people into oppressed and oppressor is not human nature in the least and ignores the altruism and cooperation I see every day.

It’s like they were blinded by institutionalized hatred and their eyes sinisterly replaced by cynical bigotry. Patriarchy. White. Capitalist. Colonize. Privilege. These are the concepts of woke indoctrination forced upon two generations of Americans. What a horribly paranoid existence, on constant alert the world is systemically out to get you and the proof is simply existing.

And we allowed them access to our children. We’re not blameless in this. So what are we going to do to fix it?

More ponderings to come.
