Earthfirst
America First
speaks a RightWing monocultural intention
currently championed by Trumpians
and Republican Aristocracy of Evangelism
Tea Partiers,
by xenophobic paranoids
and sociopathic pharisee fascists,
by economically blind
deaf
and angry
bigoted
terrified shouters;
just the opposite of dumb,
yet not cooperatively mindful either
of our global polycultural DNA roots
with universal democratic intent
toward international Golden Rules.
First
"America" does not equal USA.
And America is even more than just North America,
including Central America,
now framed by a RightWing mental-spiritual Wall
against Mexico,
and, as for South America,
as any good Republican Catholic
(which may be a political-religious oxymoron)
or Protestant Evangelical
(which may also be a BadNews/GoodNews oxymoron)
will quickly remind us,
is the Wildly Wrong Hemisphere,
suspiciously socialist,
spiritually ambivalent,
even for a God
who was reputed to love
the entire Earth, equitably,
and is HimHerSelf more of a cooperativist,
in HisHer radically magnanimous love,
than an isolationist,
LoveGod does not keep all the best toys
for those awaiting
our long promised,
yet perpetually delayed,
Rapture for the Privileged ChristianEvangelicals Only.
This anciently felt Win-Win Rapture itself
has become more of a monocultural Win-Lose harvest
of pro-life WhiteHat born-agains
who define pro-life quite narrowly
to advocating for yet unborn human life
at risk of abortion,
without mentioning other
politically
and socially
and ecologically
and economically climatic abortions
in their peculiarly NonRapturous Way.
Also at risk of AmericaFirst monoculturalism,
which confines promised Rapture of Earth's economy
to the competitive supremacy
of U.S. Trumpian BusinessAsUsual Elites,
the big and fat OnePercent
of our global colonizing US wealthy persons,
investing heavily in AmericaFirst policies,
which,
if more honest,
would be called
Top 1% of EarthColonizers First and Last
PatrioticWinners v MatrioticLosers.
AmericaFirst
is a sugar-sweet way of saying
"The rest of y'all don't matter
so much."
This is not the long promised Christian Rapture
of strong and healthy polyculturing un-privileged democracy
as might possibly have been hoped for
by Constitution signing ForeFathers
born of more ecologically sound ForeMothers,
perennial gardeners and organic farmers
who were not, themselves,
particularly enamored of the top aristocratic OnePercent
in their non-royalist 99%
American government-building immigrant time.
AmericaFirst
like all monocultural elitist intentions
and political investments,
forgets that economic and political walls,
once built,
work both ways,
and work against polycultural health
of economies
and political democracy of energy,
and positive nutritional exchanges among ourselves,
ecology of global health care giving
and good Rapturous ecstatic climate receiving,
even for the Elite 1% of U.S. aristocracy,
and their potential 7th Generation grandchildren.
AmericaFirst
is aggressively rooted
in an inhumane replacement
of sacred restorative healing,
democracy's inclusive vocation
of One Nation UNDER a Loving God,
within a LivingGod,
of and for a Positive Healthy PolyCulturing-Outcome God,
Setting aside secularized retributive justice models,
rooted more in God's divinely-inspired Anger
as also Wrath against those who are too tolerant
of death
for Earth's NonElite future generations
than actively pro-life of Earth
as iconic of all HerHis sacred forms
and flowing healthywealthy functions
toward regenerating Sacred EarthFirst.
We have no Christian-Republican Rapture on its way
if and when AmericaFirst finally arrives,
aborted from Earth's diverse sacred natures
and cultures
and spirits
and dead on distinctly non-rapturous
anti-conservative of multicultural life arrival.
This is not just about celebrating climate pathology;
this AmericaFirst fake-rapture threat
predicts a future of ongoing
secularizing degeneration.
AmericaFirst is a punishing pathology
against all we hold Sacred;
including the Elite U.S. OnePercent.
According to the Institute for Policy Studies,
already the twenty wealthiest U.S. citizens
have slightly more wealth to share among themselves
than do the lower 50% of U.S. residents,
who,
by the political way,
live disproportionately in RedStates
currently under advancing assault
by hurricanes and floods,
fires and tornadoes,
drought and shrinking aquifers,
chemically saturated rivers
and increasingly barren soil
and uprising polluted oceans.
But, hey,
what the self-inflicted hell;
AmericaFirst, right?
Never mind about Old School
restorative justice and messianic suffering servant peace,
nutritional polyculturing outcomes,
pro-sacred polycultural life
rather than limited to
anti-secularized monocultural death,
while supposedly worshiping a God
of EarthCreation and Dynamic Rainbows of Light
Living-Love.
These are outmoded democratic ideals
for a healthy multicultural environment,
EarthFirst economy
and political subclimates.
And who retains any good faith
in such liberating,
sad UberTrump fading,
Win-Win pipe dreams
of a Universal LoveGod who could not care less
about AmericaFirst,
and who is AnimaMundi,
Holy MatriarchalSpirit
of EarthFirst?
