What sustains life are sacred values,
so what cannot sustain becomes pathological.
Matriarchy is about nurturing and care-giving,
protecting life and conserving cooperative energies;
yet that implies that patriarchy devolves to controlling
and competitive care-receiving,
destroying life as WinLose necessary
to violently offend against further competing failures of energy.
Patriarchy: Producing for this WinLose generation.
Matriarchy: Conserving for next WinWin generations.
Don't call that defense,
call it what it is,
offensive militarism
plutocratic nationalism
which acts like baseball fields used to perform in the U.S.:
If you build it
we will come to exploit it.
A fratricidal nationalistic ecopolitics
is also a suicidal WinLose ecologically cynical strategy
against future generations
who will never become,
never emerge
because we refuse to prioritize
WinWin organic nurturing processes
of co-empathic conservation
as mental and physical healthy climates;
basic synergetic hygiene.
Freedom Seekers
was the next generation vision
of our Original Freedom Fighters;
not so much to merely perpetuate younger fighters
rather than seekers first.
Seek and ye shall find.
Don't seek,
and we still fight on.
This is neither the time to become hypnotized
terrorized
or even merely reactionary against Trumpians
in this postmillennial moment of climaxing climate pathologies,
our perfect storm;
yet it is also a critical time
to not continue being responsive
to patriarchal anthropocentrism
in all its ...ism aspish apeish forms.
Why should U.S. women continue paying federal taxes?
Investing further resources in WinLose politics,
when we could, instead,
invest in WinWin cooperative ownership
of Earth as our mutual share-held Commons.
We could instead invest our tax dollars
in planting trees
and building stronger cooperative ownership
including deep learning and healthing ego/ecosystems,
and investing in WinWin ecopolitical,
and personal,
sacred and naturally regenerative games,
work and recreation,
networks of positive matriarchal co-discernment,
springing up from pockets and guilds of mutual subsidiarity.
This is not just a U.S. women's federal tax boycott,
but all women who feel suppressed
and know oppression of cooperative investment
in and of and for future generations,
all conservationists of Earth's healthy futures,
including our own,
and our families,
and our neighbors,
all allies boycotting nationalism
to co-invest in global cooperative nutrition-building networks
of WinWin sacred ecology,
both multicultural and polypathic,
creolizing polycultures
of and for regenerative health
from (0)-sum now
through interdependent evermore
Deep Learning Time for CoOperative ReEducation.
Nationalism is a political landscape problem.
Matriarchal eco-repatriation is our ecopolitical climate of resolutions.
All living systems vote yes with our cooperative lives;
no with our degenerative ego-exhaustion.
If not now,
when?
If not you,
whom?
If not here,
where?
If not this regenerative potential,
then what remaining degenerativity?
If not for love,
then why bother?
Military offensive strategic norms
derive from fear that cooperative love
will not and cannot grow powerful enough
on the other side of a line we have drawn
in our minds.
And this fear
is a self-fulfilling prophecy.
For where fear rules our inter-relational policies
and international controlling procedures,
then love must thereby fade
from a fear-mongered collective mind
abandoned to pursue monopoly games,
drawing ever more fading lines
in quicksands of mistrust
in and on Earth's profoundly robust cooperativity,
standing-by nutritional potential
for mutual loving contentment.
It's not that competitive WinLose capitalism is bad
or intrinsically patriarchal evil,
it's more that cooperative WinWin capital investments
work better
longer
for healthy conservation of multiculturing wealth.
No taxation
without equitable cooperative representation.
A classic ring
with a touch of postmillennial zing.
Taxing investments sustaining healthy life are sacred values,
so what cannot
and must not pretend to
sustain ecological wealth becomes pathological plutocracy.
