@lottieflying Given the asymmetries of Power between ordinary people and Institutions of Power, Wealth and their news Mefia who all work together to limit the 'public discourse' it's easy to not see the majority of decent people who ARE taking care as best the circumstances afford them.
@lottieflying That is a strategic aim, to dim our view of each other, as a way to exhaust, irritate, dismay, confuse and otherwise defect grass roots unity and political organisation.
Gaslighting us all the time...
The Powerful understand that if and when we break that spell, it's game over.

I read Sassoon and others as a teen, which is where I became totally anti-war. Their poems were honesty.
No war can be discussed, sanely, in isolation.
They are all part of a cultural behavioural dynamic, rather than some innate, inevitable human trait.

WWI did not start with the assassination of Duke Ferdinand - the anarchist who shot him was part of the long standing battles for dominance that had raged across Europe for centuries.

@JolyonMaugham@mrjamesob Goldsmith is gaslighting, a bully tactic 1. Lockdowns only happen when spread of virus is so out of control that health services might collapse - in other words a lockdown is a failure to stop the spread. 2. The reason this is a problem for the government is because it threatens
@JolyonMaugham@mrjamesob their position, their status, their power. The reaction of the population IF the NHS collapsed under the strain is the problem they fear, not the actual harms caused to people. 3. Govt. allowing uncontrolled spread as we tweet, on the basis that Vaccines protect their position

2005, Blairs Government introduced Work Capability Assessment.
Have you ANY idea just how much harm that caused to real people, which was predicted at the time? ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/P…
Has anyone been made to account for Austerity, which caused 150,00 excess deaths?
The English System is built to insulate the officers of State from accountability for crimes they commit on 'Her Majesty's Service' which is the Crown as State, not the Queen as the person.
It is a Ruling class pretending at Democratic Accountability.

Kindness is ancient. Kindness makes us humane. Kindness is big. Being humane is a thing. Being humane is the biggest thing. We cannot be fully human if we are not also humane.
When we study the evolution of the human neuro-endocrine system and how it functions we discover something. It is optimised for a peaceful life, with occasional moments of stress. It is not optimised for constant, chronic stress.
1. Low income people are made to feel bad about being worth only a below living wage
2. Then we are made to feel bad about accepting state support
3. Then we are made to feel bad that we don’t own homes, and must rent.
4. Then our rent pays others mortgages plus their profit whilst they take the increase in property values. This extracts wealth from us to the lenders whose shareholders off shore that wealth.

#Gaslighting is built into every hierarchy of power, resources and violence culture. Because bullying is not normative healthy human behaviour. Gaslighting serves to deflect attention away from the bully. Gaslighting serves to unsettle and destabilise the bullied.
#Gaslighting is essential to the bully cult because the bullies have to convince the e majority of the bullied that they are not being bullied. That is because the bullies are usually a minority who would be unable to face down the majority if the majority united in resistance
Triggering arguments from a distance, watching the chaos then exploiting it..
I found was sort of chucking these rocks over the garden wall and I listened to this amazing crash from the greenhouse next door over in England as everything I wrote from Brussels
@mrjamesob was having this amazing, explosive effect on the Tory party, and it really gave me this I suppose rather weird sense of power.
