In dialogue with Paulo Freire in dialogue with Simone de Beauvoir in Pedagogy of the Oppressed, especially p. 47.
Victims of Straight
White
Patriarchal History
are usually not hopelessly unenlightened
and permanently disabled
Ostracized by Self
and/or Others
from healthy democratic
co-redemption
Baptized
and medicated
and meditated
into Truth seeking Beauty,
Sacred Voices seeking Secular Choices
reflecting cooperative EarthTribe's
most win/win integral
indigenous Wisdom.
The unStraight
unWhite
unMale
are not unPeople
living outside touchable
tangibly co-invested
co-operatively healthy
wealthy society.
We have always been inside
Earth's natural/spiritual mind
nondualistically embodied
economic
and political beings
still becoming wholy
historical;
not so much hysterical
EarthTribal identity
co-created us
democratic
co-passionate communicators
from past regenerations
toward future generations
seeking wealth-optimizing cooperative health.
Our co-empowering solution
to emotional and cognitive apartheid
is not always forced to colonize vulnerable prey
for failure to rise
to some self-empowered
top OnePercent
Overpowering those Others
deaf,
blind,
and voiceless
in superstructures
of echoing monocultural oppression
suppression
negative repression
rather than positive impression;
anxiety defeating anticipation.
Healthier democratic resolutions
can transform win/lose competitions
into win/win cooperative social structures
as We The EnLightened People
of democratic compassion
become organically organizing beings
within our health wealthing
EarthCentric ComPassion Tribes.
Such environmentally transcendent transformation
does disempower StraightWhiteMonoCultural privileged
monochromatic views
of monotheistic
autocratic
secularizing Purpose
Divorced from sacred democratic Meaning,
attenuating resilience
and resonance
with marginalizing
disenabling
institutionalizing
consumptive
dysfunctional
marginalizing
predative colonizing intent
of Might Makes MonoCulturing Right
for anthrosupremacists.
A StraightWhitePatriarchal capitalist
consumer model of historical education
assuming monotheistic
"From Above"
autocratic powers for controlling communication
cannot peacefully
or therapeutically
or justly
or sacramentally
avoid a dispassionate threat
to healthy EarthTribe co-producers
Wealthing positive deviant ecofeminists
leading organic communions
with unrelentingly curious
co-gravitating
co-arising
nonpartisan polypathic solidarity
within whole-sum
EarthTribal
compassion.
