Recovering White Survivalists

I've now read evolutionary and feminist historians and economists and political scientists agreeing, in a side by side custody of the over-specialized eyes and ears non-dialogical way Not competing against each other, except maybe for journal space, nor actively cooperating with each other, beyond normal ethical Golden Rule academic standards, occasionally co-opting hybrid terms from each other, word choices, if you happen to be a historical communication paradigmatic systems analyst, like Thomas Kuhn, sniffing out multiculturing re-appropriations moving toward renewing articulation of non-colonization non-violent revolutions, co-passionate creolizations, transubstantiations, polypathic transformations into grand new reincarnations Agreeing that Earth's historical evolution involves both competitive survivalist economies and cooperative thrival developments growing ecological resilience objectives, Meanwhile Game Theorists recognize both survivalist win/lose power games and thrivalist win/win positive communication enlightened frames mutually transparent cooperatively vulnerable, culturally integral. But, my own limited experience challenges traditional evolutionary assumptions, unhistorical misconceptions that win/lose competitions are more cost-effective, stronger strategic responses to pandemic and climate public health crises That runaway military-industrialized monoculturing capitalism is more likely to achieve successful economic health goals than can win/win multi-party inclusive healthy democratic cooperation When community and corporate and national commodified communication values are in a frenzied state of feed and breed before starved and bled with competing rabidity virility audacity cunning, an ecologically prudent economist might predict rabid exhaustion and collapse of healthy co-invested economies and wealthy ecological relationships much more often than future's more resiliently planned cooperative co-invested Paradise. And cross-pollination works both ways when democratic multiculturing economic paradise and global ecological co-relational peace feel most politically empowering climatic then co-passionate Left and Right Wings sing of predative in lions and preyed out lambs coalescing in ecosystemic cooperative fields of co-invested enlightenment together Playful win/lose competitions between cooperatively win/win trained and empowered and enlightened team-players become our best socio-economic evolving structures for learning cooperative holistic metasystems with democratically competitive poli-party integral thriving economies supporting locally owned producer/consumer cooperatives and global win/lose competitions in optimizing healthy empowering experiences, vaccines, preventative insurance Hoping to produce the first local economic delivery of these last minute 20/20 revisionary consuming gifts for how we, historically healthy only publicly and privately together, become ultra-nonviolent ecofeminist evolutionaries retelling ancient narratives concerning our thriving economic-ecological political investments in fairest fairness to MotherEarth's All Cooperatively living most health wealthiest ever after competing for surviving Time in thriving multicultural EarthSpace.
