I recently saw the movie Ford V Ferrari again and remembered why I was so moved by it .
That movie tells the story of many industries, including movies, music, arts, medicine, law, education – where some corporate individuals step on individual craftspeople to wring out a profit then toss away humans in a GentrificationOfCulture™

the very Simple Cause for Abusive Conditions under which so many innocent people suffer.
The Pathological Psychology of a State Dictator is that of any other Common Bully, Emotional Abuser, Physical Abuser …
Please let us apply the Same Common Sense Remedies for any other case of Abuse
The Same Remedies applied Upon receiving the Abused Family Members into a Safe House or Shelter can be applied globally
The Stakes are catastrophic if we neglect this Mental Wellness for Our Global Family
At the very simplest psychological level – the solutions are so clear
Like any Cultureor Group of People oppressed by The Dictator – the Family Members of an Abuser suffer unimaginably, the daily agonies of tortures – both physical and psychological
These agonies damage victims for generations
Unhealing Wounds paid forward into the future …
generation after generation …
from private hells
to genocide
scarring, savaging the humanities of us all as the wound becomes encoded genetically
In a never-ending cycle of misplaced tolerance for pathology.
Democracy’s genius lies partly in it’s foundation of “Balance Of Powers”
Whereas Absolute Power is a certain path to Abuse Of Power whether it be exacted on an individual, family, nation, economy, or planet.
The Survivors’ Wisdom teaches :
Survivors of Domestic Abuse, Child Abuse, Workplace Abuse, wildlife, sealife, environmental abuse know the Mechanics of Abuse of Power require enabling by those who amplify and ultimately enable the authoritarian to speak at their victims, stealing the Voice of The Victim by appropriation of the victim role – while alienating friends and family – to isolate and deny the victim from rescuers.
Jealous of unattainable excellence and of love they feel denied – the abusers’ self-soothing tool is abuse of any power in their capacity, whether it be the smallest or the greatest effect – they are so powerless to heal their own malady, they seek to exact revenge on any thing , any one willing to tolerate or enable the rampage.
The Abuser must completely control their environment in order to escape accountability and consequences and to that end they must recruit little armies of enablers forming a cult of weak followers who see themselves reflected in the dictator’s delusional superiorities.
The rampage might be an unconscious mechanism unknown to the Abusers themselves, can seem quite innocuous, even laughable at first.
But with time, enabling, tolerance of little pathologies by increments … Absolute Power is the goal of their dis-ease … The disease rules.
The mechanics include fomenting chaos and faking victimhood – the abuser obfuscates and obstructs justice and healing.
The abuser dictator derives relief of their own pain, by causing suffering in others.
Their only destination is death and the ceasing of their own pain, but they are too sick in their ego’s narcissistic quest to prove their superiority, so they harm everything in their environment in a quest for personal glory.
Please let us End Our Tolerance for Pathology and Begin the Remedy with the very same Basic Common Sense used to protect an innocent child from the Pathology of her abuser.
If We Numb ourselves into delusive agreement with Toxic Apathies, lulling ourselves into the Oblivion of a Depressed World View that holds it impossible to end war, abuse, hate, torture … – then what?
Then by abdication, we have accepted our own Demise through knowing and willful Sufferage of Pathology and Abuse
If we accept Such Sufferage for another, then by definition, we accept it for ourselves …
To see this truth – is one step toward Global Mental Wellness and therefore – one step toward the remedy of a condition that literally plagues us like a global pandemic
Global Mental Wellness Assures Global Physical Survival by our admission and acceptance of the Larger, Kinder and Most Practical Truth …
That Truth is of our Unlimited Potential … to counteract the equally unlimited pathologies of the Abuser …
Global Mental Wellness is vital to our survival and perhaps we ignore and discount it because most cultures do the same with individual Mental Wellness
Via Global Mental Wellness we will have access to these Remedies :
It is Possible to access our own Toxic Emotions as individuals and also as Cultures, Societies, States, Countries …
It is Possible for us all to Detoxify, Remedy, Improve, Heal our own Behaviours when we know we have crossed a line
It is Possible to Recognize Early Warning Signs of Impending Events via Understanding the Mechanism of Abuse and the Psychology of The Abuser
and
It is Possible and Necessary
To Say “No” in the Very Earliest Stages of any impending Abusive Event,
It is Possible and Necessary,
To Say “No” most often with Non-Violence
It is Possible and Necessary
To Say “No”
Whenever a Dictatorial, Abusive presence rears its ugly head across our own boundaries whether they be personal physical boundaries at home, at work or national boundaries
It really is – Possible.
Now.
Right Now.
Then – let us say “YES” to Urgent Care for Social Justice + Climate Action
