Patriots V Loyalists

True patriots, regardless of color, creed, or cathartic party, are loyal to cooperative interdependent change from below and within as needed to liberally balance conserving health to co-empower compassionately wealthy democracy. Fake patriots are like colonial loyalists supporting patriarchal monocultures, status quo business as competitively usual, dubiously needed to reactively protect exclusive from above and outside wealth of kings. As if patriotic wealth could ever survive privileged autonomous apartheid, one way receiving, without any giving back EarthTribe eco-patriotic value. Passion can overpower all resonant and dissonant voices, for a brief flash of reactionary time. Autonomous passion can behave so loudly, univocally self-invested, that Others' passions are no longer heard-- inviting impassioned debate disinviting dialogue. When compassion errs, we are under-powered fragments fractured from future's long-term opportunities. Passion shines red-blooded brilliant. Compassion listens for cooperative patriotic resilient.
