Not Giving Power Away

One cooperative way to take back disempowering choices is to teach and mentor our young not to give empowerment to disempowering plutocrats, anti-democratic Win-Lose supremacists, when casting ballots and when choosing whom to invest in and whom to listen to and whom to read and whom to invite into our cooperatively-owned, non-violent, mediating communication places. Asserting mutually-held rights to speak your healthy or unhealthy mind, usually a dipolar hybrid of healthy and unhealthy consciousness of creative and decomposing power analysis, experience, ego-reflection and eco-deflection, does not further stipulate investigative journalists and actively healthy children are required to hold oppressive microphones while NegativEnergy moves from one ageist, sexist, racist, homophobic, xenophobic remark toward its inevitable egocentric last LoseLose gasp. It seems awkward and embarrassing to listen to, much more speak, such ignorance given full disenculturing volume, space, listening sit-spot place inside millions of health-vocational outdoor daytime voices and nighttime terror lives. One cooperative way to hold empowerment is to invest only in PositivEnergy, rather than NegativEnergy anti-democratic, reinvest in goodfaith-investors, healthy trust co-operators. If the medium is at least part of the message, then the lack of media, absence of listening, is at least part of non-violent communication to free PositivEnergy good faith speech restoring health with cooperative all.
