Fragile Supremacy

Does it always feel good to be King? Or Queen? Diva? PolyPathic Genius? PolyPhonic Perfect Pitched Prophet? White fragility, like loneliness, is the psychic and economic and disempowering risk we take Each time and place we consciously impress subconsciously oppress unconsciously suppress anti-consciously repress uneven over-invested white male privileged opportunities To recognize history as polycultural systems and climates as polypathic networks, sometimes health and wealth balanced polynomials and sometimes more monochromatically problematic, Played out in win/lose economic capital advantages and egocentric/anthrocentric competing political game environments habitats eco-centers assumed to be ZeroSum by left-brain dominant win/lose energy conservationists and also NonZero-Sum co-arising dipolar 4-season revolutionary by right-sacredmind win/win emergent progressivists, change agents vulnerably fragile and transparently eco-feminist privileged. Games of physical aggression too often produce violently wounding fragmenting punishing retributive justice strategies and spiritual metaphysical detachment dissociation from disempowering privileged intent Games of metaphysical aggression grow out from leftbrain dominant language, patriarchal-ism word and value choices labeling win/lose natural realism v win/win liberal in love too optimistic v lose/lose conservative of static entropic death too pessimistic too fragile too privileged to feel Ecologic-rooted theologies on sacred Right and theological ego/eco-logos for win/win feminist Left Physical fragile metaphysicians inhaling, and metaphysically privileged win/win healers exhaling. Does it always feel good to be King? And Queen? And Diva? And PolyPathic Genius? And PolyPhonic Perfect Pitched Prophet? Who would know with ultra-nonviolet gratitude this empowering East dawning side of Gaia's BlueGreen Earth clapping more right mindedly?
