Fighting For Fairness

Liberty is not a synonym for ravenous self-determination. For every freedom to grow there is a reciprocal freedom from incursion. When our individual or national purpose reduces self-with-other mutual determination and reiterative processes of evolving redetermination down to autonomous libertarianism as freedom from infringements, then our pursuit of happiness is no longer concomitant with our hopes for growing health, and our pursuit of wealth-hoarding freedoms becomes idolatrously removed from unifying roots of equal democratic liberties of and for all, freedom to optimize wealth of health, happiness through mutually nurturing freedoms. Selfishly autonomous determination, articulating cause for self-justifying violence, delineating causes of nationalism's self-without-other exterminations, is not the original intent of democratic healthy purpose, is heading toward monoculturing degeneration instead, the opposite of multiculturing regenerate freedoms to pursue our mutually optimizing wealth of health. Beware economists and politicians who speak of growing freedoms yet remain silent about both personal and public prerequisite investments in history's nondual development of healthy wealth as wealth for regenerating health of multi-generations. Beware of those who advocate your freedom to self-optimize, freed of cooperative mutual tax investments while hiding our collective responsibilities to cooperatively own healthy authorities for recycling Earth's most deeply resonant integrity of health-wealthing democratic values, Yang's ego-centric freedom to love Yin's eco-centric freedom from oppression, suppression, repression, depression sunk by patriarchal hubris of anthro self-determination. Pursuit of global liberty is not a safe cover story, much less a synonym, for self with other interdependent determinations of and for cooperatively growing wealth, further investing in Earth's culture of integral health. Elitist pursuits of self-determination disguised as synonymous with complex freedom networks thrusting anthro-authority over eco-responsibility, has brought us to this precipice of climate pathology, and not shared integrity of healthy global climates.
