A Healthier Patriotism

My own patriotic U.S. extended family, historically, and currently remains StraightWhiteMale privileged in our collective memories, if not imaginations, of spiritual communion with all the more privileged saints present, past, and future But, we have also suffered from rather too much faith in capitalism, which, like democracy, is frequently faulted as miserable, but also lauded as better than all the socialistic communistic devilistic totalitarian fascist foreign threatening terrifying anger-inducing alternatives. Capitalism of our encultured multigenerational minds with left-hemisphere dominant brains favoring natural secularized competitions between saints and sinners of diversely threatening monocultural privilege, persuasions fundamentally supremacist for democracy in theory so long as not in perceived conflict with self-serving capitalism in daily personal practice, natural and spiritual, secular and sacred, ecological and theological. We are egocentric sometimes narcissistic always bootstrap individualistic evangelical redemption ecopoliticals but focused on BadNews of our need to invest in violent self-defense against Marxist communism out there in Hell Not to be confused with commitment to GoodNews of sacred divine communion within our privileged StraightWhiteMale places of apartheid worship in awe and wonder dogmatically committed to our StraightWhiteMale God Made military-industrialized in our best capitalistic, not really quite so democratic paternalistic image of left-hemisphere StraightWhiteMale rightfully empowered historical/cultural dominance. So, there we have it, this chaotic bilateral dissonance between our powers of political democratic enlightenment through whole open-systemic dialogue, and our confusion about economic uncooperative self-empowerment at the necessary (either/or thinking) cost of Other disempowerment, gone sadly win/lose awry through endless polarizing debate assumptions That if someone wins, then all others playing our eco-political game must lose, which sounds very much like survival of the fittest rightest left-brain dominant species OVER AGAINST Earth's whole open system green/blue ecological/theological success. Like our dominant left-hemisphere academic theory of secularized win/lose evolution is more anthropocentrically capital-headed and self-righteously defensively effective than Earth's sacred WINblue/WINgreen ego/eco-politics of polypathic political dialogue empowering through GoldenRule democratic resilience, And right hemisphere polyphonic economic enlightenment co-invested through Golden Octave Ratios in interdependent multicultural dialogue, Holonic nonzero sum, polynomially left GroupTheory and polyvagally bicameral right/left Win/Win GameExperience My extended global multicultural family history and future with more resonant healthier cooperative democracy embedded in Earth's ecosystemic wealth, Co-invested across multi-generations of MotherEarth's wise-dialogue win/win eco-political eco-feminist regenerators Not of colonizing political and anthropocentric economic privilege but of democratically co-invested integrity in sacred green/blue communion.
