Flowing Through Quicksand

Meritocracy is nurtured through discerning differences between regenerative and degenerative information. Aristocracy is controlled and maintained against revolutionary change by both regenerative and degenerative energy patterns of historic entitlement. Merits and demerits are nurtured and avoided. Aristocrats and slaves are controlling and controlled primarily and fundamentally by birth rights and wrongs, inherited wealth and power and disinheriting poverty and absence of cooperative ownership, even of an enslaved ego, addicted to avoiding annihilation by fear-selling aristocratic gods, and sometimes even goddesses, disguised as princesses and Queen Bees and AntiFeminist Aunts. Democracies nurture nonsexist and nonracist meritocracy, rooted in past cooperatively successful experience with ecosystemic self-governing balance, familial meritocracy spewing out mutual governance skill sets, and adult vocational performance producing measurable cooperative-nurture outcomes, more than consuming competitive controlling outputs of and for authority by right of historic purchased placement rather than by right of empathically trusting co-responsibilities, perhaps most revolutionarily felt by First Generations of disenfranchised slaves freed from ego-shackles of Aristocracy worship by uncovering ecosystemic alternatives of and for meritocracy of just and peaceful regular folks living primarily in cooperative ownership and self/other governance. Plutocracy seeks to control, to maintain aristocratic ecopolitical controls, rooted in past regenerative and degenerative energy patterns. When do healthy democracies turn toward pathological plutocracies? When past performance standards for public sector vocations turn to whom and what you could buy and sell, from whom and what you have cooperatively developed for regenerative ecopolitical purposes, healthy merits of past relational and transactional history with healthy mutually happy prosperously resolving ego/eco-balancing outcomes. When the electors, the civitas, turn from discerning merits of mutual wisdom, look away from matriarchal co-empowerment, cooperative-ownership principles of actively trusting mutual subsidiarity, becoming too nationalistically and ethnically and racially and ego proud to actively nurture Earth's dipolar cooperativity, co-arising, turning toward pathological preferences for bipolar bicameral competitions for playing WinLose Aristocratic Players of egotistic Might Makes Right, seeking monocultural monopolies of ever more aristocratic patriarchal control rather than polypathically cooperative nurturing of meritocratic nurturing equi-valent equal-empowering democratic abundance. When the healthy wealthy Earth Moms and Dads are in charge, everybody may continue to competitively fight tomorrow, but not before we all cooperatively prepare enough for all to eat and sleep in peace tonight. And no one allows anyone to go to bed hungry, angry and unforgiven, or enslaved by fear of egocentric aristocrats, within oneself, or without, preferring ecopolitical landscapes of democratic cooperative abundance balancing egoLeft with ecoRight, flowing through economic swamps of political quicksand.
