CJ Paloma Likes Longer DaysWorking for a world without billionaires, fascists or bigots having any say in anything.
Pro democracy, pro compassion, pro peace, anti social hierarchies based in false assumptions.
Power OVER using force or coercion (whether via $, religion, gender, skin tones etc) is stunted and will always fail eventually
Consent/cooperation/shared power are the only healthy ways to go.
Also: the 25th Amendment is right there- USE IT.

CJ Paloma Likes Longer Days"every accusation is a confession" has been a helpful shorthand in many cases
I'll go further
their entire worldviews are based in DARVO
kind of sums it up for me.
It's everywhere: ex: dudes armed to the teeth really charging a guy with assault for throwing a sandwich at them as he flees (justifiably) for his life.
CJ Paloma Likes Longer DaysLate Intro: I've hopped instances a couple of time since late in 2022, starting out at @CJPaloma@universeodon.com
I am a fan of all different kinds of arts, and have dabbled in a few of them.
Play guitar and drums well enough in certain genres. Recreational, but not "hard core" bike rider and hiker. I end up -posting- mostly on social justice related issues, and spent most of my working life practicing, but also inhaling science based info on that (broad) topic, as a MH professional.
#Introduction
CJ Paloma Likes Longer DaysColonizers the world over routinely create and believe just horrible bs due to entitlement/greed, or whatever
Growing out of cultures -just infested- with those values, liberalism is a step forward, but certainly not sufficient.
Enculturation is legitimately hard to transcend.
In many ways it's very much like kids growing up in abusive families, absorbing all kinds of bs as "normal" not knowing there are so many other ways people can live.
CJ Paloma Likes Longer DaysIt's getting clearer and clearer to me that "conservatism" itself grows out of traditional -colonizer- values.
And while they might want to wrap themselves in righteous visions of "glory for god" and some damned flag, the major values of colonizers anywhere have always been: MY OWN SELF INTEREST AT ANY COST TO OTHERS!!!
CJ Paloma Likes Longer Daysmaybe discouraging half the population from developing emotional sensitivity, and cultural norms that tell all people to consider emotions to be frivolous and unimportant...
is a big part of what is preventing us from creating a world based on caring for others??? Hmm?? Just a thought.

CJ Paloma Likes Longer DaysYa know how clueless moths look when they repeatedly fly into walls trying to leave rooms, even with the doors and windows wide open? Billionaires are stupider and more contemptible, by far.They could live in total luxury, peace and comfort for all their lives.
Instead they go for more!!!! because they are so fucking empty inside. And it's glaringly obvious to everyone who thinks about it, if you're not also a moth brained fool.
Some people just kill moths when they get too annoying.

CJ Paloma Likes Longer DaysI am curious about how many people have heard of and generally understand what the term DARVO means.
Who could get a series of good conversations going about it? Because understanding the general dynamics of the ideas behind it could be really helpful for lots of people.
