My Philosophy is informed by Alloparenting, Child Development, Egalitarian Culture Lived Experience

My Philosophy is informed by Alloparenting, Child Development, Egalitarian Culture Lived Experience and my own lived experience.

Solidarity emerges from the psychology of Alloparenting as at the primary behavioural separation of Hominins from Primates. Shared parenting it is believed drove and was supported through the evolutionary enlargement of our forebrains over millions of years. We now understand that the forebrain is critical in how we learn, especially how we learn to self regulate our emotional states, what ever they might be, in any given moment. We understand how trauma and chronic stress in early life undermines this process. Co-operation demands a cognitive capacity for emotional state self regulation that builds mutual aid communities.

Allan Schore's work on the development of the emotional self in infancy as a lived experience learning before language is acquired, through carer to infant interactions, is substantive.

Robert Sapolsky too has done really fine work on human behaviour as product of millions of years of evolution as must as what happens in the milliseconds, seconds, minutes, days, weeks, years before any given action is taken.

Both are adept, well respected expert neuroscientists with a special interest in human behaviour. Both demonstrate the behaviour is not necessarily driven by genetics, as much as it is driven by lived experiential learning and circumstance.

Emotional Intelligence is something we all know something about, some more than others, most often through no fault or flaw of their own.

A metric for healthy Governance : I think of Healthy Governance as being focused on the practical realities of administering a communities shared resources for the equal benefit of all members of that community.

Healthy governance sets the context of governance as operating within as a shared responsibility of duty of care for one another. In that regards healthy governance has to be evidence led at all times.

Opinion and belief are insufficient to meet the responsibility of duty of care. Healthy governance sets the global context of governance as nurturing, caring for and stewarding of the habitat within which the community lives and from which that community draws living materials and other resources.

We have ample evidence of healthy long standing sustainable egalitarian ways of living, egalitarian cultures, from 19th, 20th and 21st Century Anthropology but also including first contact accounts by the first colonial 'explorers' from European Powers who met many, many older cultures as they ranged across Earth seeking conquest and colonisation.

Some have written of what they call 'pre-conquest consciousness'. Can you imagine what it might like to be part of a human community that knows nothing of conquest? Where there is no memory of that scale of violence, where friendship and affiliation is the primary modality of social organisation?

Our children all deserve a future shared environment that is healthy, that they can look forwards to, rather than what most of our children now fear - an entire generation is growing up worried about their futures, and we are the ones who ought to be stewarding that space for them to grow into.

What are we doing?

"When we as a society begin to value mothers as the givers and supporters of life then we will see social change in ways that matter."

"The psychology of any given family, community or society is both revealed and perpetuated in how that family, community or society relates to and treats the children and the most vulnerable people. Change that and you can change everything. Liberation is all about how we relate towards one another."

A Call for a General Strike - The Gaza Hunting Fields - What does it take to organise this via GHF?

Gaza Hunting Fields.
Gaza Humanitarian Foundation?

CEO quits, replaced with Evangelical Ideologue.

"GHF's founding CEO, Jake Wood, resigned last week, saying the foundation could not operate while maintaining the core humanitarian principles of independence, impartiality, and integrity.

On Tuesday, the foundation named his replacement, Rev. Johnnie Moore - a staunchly pro-Zionist evangelical pastor and former Donald Trump appointee to the US Commission on International Religious Freedom."

Detailed report from Al Jazeera on how the GHF system is operating.

“It was chaos - a real struggle. Men, women, children, all crammed together, pushing to grab whatever they could. No queues, no system - just hunger and disorder,” al-Assar added. From a distance, plumes of dust could be seen as people rushed to grab whatever they could. Israel has not allowed food into the Strip for nearly three months, adding to people's desperation.Shots were then heard as Palestinians ducked for cover. Israeli forces say they opened fire into the air to control the crowds, however, injuries sustained by Palestinians on the ground suggest gunshots were fired into the crowd."

In the one month of operations, at least 1 thousand have been shot and killed, many more maimed. Many shot in the back as they fled from the violence. The vast majority of people arriving to these sites leave empty handed. How desperate does one have to be to take this kind of risk, just to get a small portion of food for one's children?
A Siege, a medieval practice, in the 21st Century. Backed by almost every Western Government.
'Israel does have that right' according to Sir Keir Starmer.
So.

What does it take to plan design, resource, build and populate the Gaza Hunting Fields?

People crammed into feeder lanes to be allowed run to the platform tables where aid is stacked, to grab what they can. No organised system of handing food packs to people, no organised functional filtering of what goods people might need. A person might grab a box and find no food, only diapers and soaps. What is this?

Planning Meetings

Some people sat in a boardroom and discussed a problem, brain storming ideas, setting out objectives.

They assessed desired outcomes, undesired outcomes, unforeseen and foreseeable consequences, they spoke about and wrote about strategic planning and tactical operations.

Another team made detailed architectural plans based on land surveys. Quantity surveyors thought through the logistics of building supplies, someone planned the works, estimating how many workers would be required to get the project in on time and within budget.

Yeah, someone spent time on the budget for all of this.

Then the Military and Security Services sat in boardrooms and operations command posts and worked out their part of the scheme, fully aware of the intentional cruelty they were about to embark upon.

They and others in the PMC (private military contractor) industry discussed hiring mercenaries to work front line delivery, they looked at the support those hired helpers would need.

Someone discussed toilets, cooking and serving facilities for frontline staff, accomodation, communications, shift rotas, medical support, wages and management.

No cooked food would be provided, to be distributed, this is no food kitchen.

It is a trap laden with bait, packages of random aid, laid out for starving men from starving families who are forced to take immense risk just to grab a small pack of what they hope is food, for their watery eyed, translucent skinned wasting away slowly children, many already too skinny from siege-famine, already a war crime.

Crime upon crime upon crime, calculated layered depravity, amidst international participation and complicity, the bodies, more than 75k ( Professor Michael Spagat of Royal Holloway, University of London, June 2025) and likely up to 186k (Lancet June 2024) and more, as recently estimated by their respective teams of analysts.

The Gaza Health Ministry is unable to provide accurate numbers of deaths, and records only those it sees. Tens of thousands are missing, or buried under rubble, and so the harm to Gazans continues, unabated.

The maimed and traumatised, and the still able bodied try to live on in the Israeli USUK created hellscape that is Gaza today - where children are starving to death, their mothers are under total blockade, all faced daily bombings by Jets, shootings by soldiers and quad copters, shelling by tanks and artillery.

Grown men and women sat down and planned all of this.

Politicians worked through their publicity approach. They had to sell this to the people as a good thing.

Hundreds of millions of dollars/shekels/pounds/Deutsch Euros have been and are being deployed, most of it from State taxes, paid by workers and shoppers and corporations, and State borrowings, which future tax payers will pay off.

Irish Central Bank sells Israeli War Bonds. The buyers will want to ensure the Israeli State is protected, if only to insure their investment.

When will the Western populations of workers call a general strike to impede Western support for this abject behaviour?

A general Strike aimed at every element of Government and Industry that supports the Israeli Occupation State, every element that is refusing to uphold International Law at pace.

What are we waiting for?

The BBC, Kneecap, Genocide and the British Neo-Colonial Establishment

BBC cut the Kneecap Feed.
"we all know why."

Genocide is shameless. The British State is up to its sweaty neck in Genocide. It always has been. Most European Empires are similar, historically and currently. They don't end, they change their branding. They only people who can end their depravity are the home populations united in humane solidarity. You and me, and you neighbours. All of us.

All we are saying is uphold and enforce International Law.

BBC primary political task has ALWAYS been to protect the Ruling Class, the Aristocracy/Crown and the Neo-Imperial Oligarchy from being held accountable by the general population these three groups exploit....  from Jimmy Savile, Cyril Smith, Care Homes, Child Sexual Abuse in various institutional care settings, from Hillsborough to Grenfell, from to Iraq to the Genocide of Palestine (which started in 1915), from the General Strike of 2026 the BBC has been, alongside the Judiciary, MI5 and the Police Force tasked with preserving the English Ruling Class as its core political task as a news media provider.

The core task of the British Military is to keep the colonial assets under British Oligarchy control. They were not sent to Iraq right free you and I. They are not engaged in operations over Gaza to liberate you and I.

The Ruling Class greatest fear has always been and remains an awakened 'woke' majority of the people forming a political solidarity movement at pace and assuming a dominant elected position within the Legislature... which tells us what is required for the solution to this problem - we must void the duopoly of lefter/right Government/Opposition, that sordid divisive, corrupt facade of democratic functionality, through unity and solidarity  at every level of democratic engagement - our cause has been clarified by the active participation in the Genocide of the Palestinian civilian population. 

Those of us who have long read history honestly are saddened it has taken the witnessing of a live genocide to arrive at this point. We have been warning people all our lives. 

The question for each and every adult now is when will you start this work?

We ordinary people would never spend our taxes on warfare, so neither should the democratically elected tax collecting Government.

The State could easily look after the disabled and eradicate poverty, enable free education to University level, develop long term social housing, transition away from fossil fuels, convert all industrial processes to cradle to cradle modalities, eradicating pollution and environmental degradation - all of which would be for the sake of our children and their children. All of them, everywhere.

All of this is eminently possible.

Two things impede it.

!. The grasp of Wealth-as-Power as a political dominator ideology.

2. The lack of evidence led empathy based humane Solidarity across the rest of Society.

The problems we face, outlined above, are not technically difficult to resolve.

No new information is required. We have it all right here.

Wealth-as-Power will not cede.

We MUST build the kind of grassroots Solidarity that takes Wealth-as-Power out of our legislatures..... they will still seek to control and deploy Wealth-as-Power, but without the State apparatus as their tool, they can be held accountable.

It is no longer sufficient for any of us to give up, to pretend the task is impossible and leave it at that. We are living witness to a clear as day genocide and all our Governments are fully participating - by refusing to uphold and ENFORE international law at pace and robustly they are breaking the law and are actively participating in the ongoing criminality.

Vocal Sample from "I never thought the leopards would eat my face.."

Superb Song by Franchesca Ramsey

Every Empire is on the wrong side of History.

Every Organised Warfare State is one the wrong side of History.

Vast Wealth that deploys imposed poverty is on the wrong side of History.

Patriarchy, Misogyny, Racism, White Supremacy, Hindi Supremacy, Supremacy, Xenophobia of any kind is all on the wrong side of History.

Genocide has always been a business model for Empire.

We live within a Bully Cult and at some point we all need to acknowledge that and then build the solidarity required to dismantle The Bully Cult.

Facts matter - we all work for and provide money to the Bully Cult and we do most of the tasks it needs to survive.

We could stop doing that. 

Game over.

All of us, together. 

It's known as Solidarity. 

It is possible.

Eurovision : "Non-political, strictly neutral, doesn't matter if you're good or brutal."

Eurovision Theme Song 2025 : "Non-political, strictly neutral, doesn't matter if you're good or brutal."
Right. In this line, the indeed acknowledge that some of the States being represented in the contest are indeed brutal. And that that does not matter.
The writers outed the competition, thinking they were protecting the conception.
We all know who they are referring to as brutal, States represented in the completion, and certain States banned from the competition. The whiff of hypocrisy is pungent. Every state engaged in warfare ought to be excluded from such a peace bringing song contest.
War does not bring peace.
War does not bring peace, we know this : not in Ukraine, Afghanistan, Libya, Syria, Congo, Sudan, Kashmir or Palestine. The end of World War II did not bring peace to Congo, Vietnam, Korea, it did not bring peace to South Africa, Cuba, South America. War never brings peace. Peace is so much more than mere ceasefires. Peace is the dismantling of militarism, the redirection of our efforts towards healthy relationships at all levels of society, the adoption of the duty of care to avoid all known avoidable harms as the core of a healthy society.
Supporting one side in a war, arming one side or both in a war does not bring peace. Paying for those arms trades through Swiss bank accounts does not bring peace.
I do not know who wrote the lyrics or the music. Their video does not list any credits.
If I was either, the lyricist or the music writer/arranger I would not want anyone to know I had any part in it. And I would not want a single cent of the royalties. Blood money. I am a song writer and producer. Largely unknown and unremarkable. I do know my craft, and its purpose as a folk roots musician.
Here is the song, 'Made in Switzerland', written with a Latin American beat.. (cultural appropriation?)The majority of comments on the video are familiar to those who know the bot farm linguistic turn of phrase.
Hazel Brugger and Sandra Studer sung this song, and presented the competition.

Youtube video of the song 'Made in Switzerland'

the Lyrics:

Made in Switzerland
on television every year
in Switzerland
And now you finally understand

that like the Swiss, Eurovision

is unpolitical -

strictly neutral!

Doesn't matter if you're
good or brutal!
Welcome but with decency!
and so sparks of fire
and crazy lightning make
the staging far more frightening!

The song goes on to claim Switzerland invented Democracy and other wildly self aggrandising claims.

How frightening is the crazy bombing of Gaza, Lebanon, Syria, the West Bank?

It doesn't matter, because good or brutal, Eurovision welcomes you! Here's a tiktok I made on this, juxtaposing the song and a recent Palestine Solidarity March in Cork, Ireland.

@egalitarianlovesongs ‘It doesn’t matter if you’re good or brutal?’ It does. It really matters. It matters when they refuse to stand up to brutality to take a fat wage… that makes them mercenaries. This may be the most abysmal cultural appropriation ever, to take a global south riddem and abuse it to give cover for Israeli Genocide and claim their are peace makers. complicit #enabling #eurovision #cork #fyp #irishtiktok #foryoupage❤️❤️ ♬ original sound - ❤️Corneilius Crowley Musician

Lead Commercial Sponsor of Eurovision

Lead commercial sponsorship for the Eurovision is an Israeli luxury hair and beauty product manufacturer, by the name of Moroccan Oil.

Moroccan Oil is made from the nut of the Argan Tree, which previously was only grown in Morocco, where for centuries it has been tended, harvested and processed by women's collectives.

There is a mythical story which tells us that the nut was traditionally fed to goats, and the post goat nut was then processed, using a complex process, to create the Argan Oil. It is a myth, a fabrication.

One manifestation of the world’s increased interest in argan oil is the development of a kind of mythology surrounding goats climbing into argan trees to harvest the fruit.

You’ve probably seen photos of this elsewhere, and there is some truth to the matter.

Goats are fans of argan fruit—and the leaves and any other food they can find. Left to their own devices, they’ll eat whatever is on the ground. When that’s gone, they’ll happily climb into the trees to find more, bounding out onto branches that bend under their weight.

The popular myth has it that oil producers rely on the goats to “process” the fruit through their digestive tracts and that nuts collected from goat manure are easier to open.

While it’s true that gathered nuts are indeed used in production, most argan oil is produced from fruit that matures and falls from the tree on its own.

In fact, goat herders and orchard guards work hard at keeping the goats away from trees with unripened fruit to ensure they don’t consume future harvests before they’re ready.

Unfortunately, this myth has led to the practice of forcing goats into trees along major roads for the benefit of passing tourists, with the worst offenders even chaining goats to branches for days. (If you visit, steer clear.) source : Curious Story

Morocco, long proud of this unique Beauty Oil, had a ban on exporting the tree, to protect their indigenous production. An understandable precaution.

Some years ago, in 2003 we are told, some clever Israeli's took cuttings, tress and nuts from Morocco, breaking Moroccan Law, and they created hybrids which are now grown on stolen Palestinian land, processed there and sold as Moroccan Oil. Colonial beauty.

I made a short TikTok about this.

@egalitarianlovesongs https://innerbeautymag.com/en/2018/11/23/carmen-tal-happiness-is-a-choice/ Moroccanoil has been the Official Sponsor of Eurovision for the past 3 years, cementing both the brand's reputation as an authority in hair trends, as well as bringing a real link between fashion, music and hairdressing Mortocan Oil is an Israeli haircare brand owned by Israeli, Carmen Tal. Moroccan Oil obscures its manufacturing and origins. It poses as a moroccan brand, however its products are all manufactured in Isreal. #relatable #humanity #share ♬ original sound - Trader Barry fx

I have to admit I have long disliked the Eurovision Song Contest, on artistic grounds, as a folk musician also rooted in electronic dance music and underground arts over a 35 year 'career'. I am wholly opposed to music being used and weaponised as a political propaganda tool and a wealth extraction practice.

Music, folk music in particular, must serve the needs of the people, must tell our stories, our trails and tribulations, our struggles, our loves, our kindnesses and our shared humanity.

Music can and is used for many purposes: weddings, funerals, community celebrations, for joy and for grief, and importantly, folk music has a rile to play in building humane solidarity so as to inspire and fire up the natural urge to make peace through challenging oppression, confronting the violent, dismantling their status.

It cannot do so when harnessed to political warfaring states and their objectives.

'Get off your Land' (see below) is a song of mine, about the Palestinian struggle, citing the long history of Zionism as a weapon of the British Empire that replicates the Plantation of Northern Ireland by the British in the 1600s, with the same patterns emerging of a population which holds an internalised religious identity that also includes a sense of entitlement to colonised lands, an identity passed from one generation to the next, exploited by the colonial overlords, weaponising people, parents and children, with rabid justifications for extremes of violence, for centuries. In the song I note the deployment of British Government irregular combat units, known as The Black and Tans, tasked with the oppression of civilians in reprisal for resistance to the colonial domination, from Ireland to Palestine, in 1922.

Geopolitical long term strategy.

Being Irish, and well read, I have a different understanding of this aspect of history than most British people I have met, in my 45v years of living in London, the majority of whom appear to be timidly yet proudly unwilling to admit the horrors of their own ruling class, let alone be energised to hold the English Ruling Class accountable.

Tony Blair walks free, a very wealthy man, one who ought to be in a cell at The Hague, for his War Crimes. We have the evidence.

I wrote this song 'Get Off Your Land' in 2020, produced this version in 2021, and am appalled to see its predictions so horrendously fulfilled. I am disgusted at the British and American and German State Governments enabling of a genocide, standing as staunch duplicitous allies in the international domain, arming Israel for commercial gain. I am similarly nauseated by their deliberate fuelling of war in Ukraine. Russia's invasion is odious, illegal and amoral, that is clear. And yet the slaughter on the fields of South Eastern Ukraine is not entirely the responsibility of the Russians. World War One demonstrated the odious practice of throwing fresh troops to a well defended frontline, to murder and ben murdered in their hundreds of thousands. I fail to see the benefits to Ukrainian civil society in such wholesale slaughter.

Here is Mitch McConnell extolling the many virtues of exacerbating the Ukraine-Russian war, in less than two minutes.

Mitch McConnell's honesty regards the benefits of the Ukraine War is instructive.

The Civil War that plagued the Donbas for 8 years prior was egged on by outsiders, as a means of 'weakening Russia'. Some spoke of making this 'Russia's second Afghnaistan'. Rather than de-escalate, the USUK have exacerbated that shituation, leading to today, where estimates suggest a million have murdered each other, most gruesomely, egged on by US, UK and Germany, whose arms industry dividends are bloated with tax payers cash.

So here's my song about Palestine. 'Get Off Your Lands'

All in all, the competing warring states dynamic and its patriarchy, who curate racism, misogyny, xenophobia and many other forms of bigotry in order to weaponise ordinary people against each other, is a pox upon humanity. It does matter of you are good or brutal. It matters very much.

Our children's futures are on the line. It does matter of you're good or brutal. Genuine neutrality is a stance of non-violent resistance to violence, a direct confrontation with the bullies, with the intent to hold the bullies accountable, as part of the process of making a genuine long term peace that leads to entire populations being nurtured rather than exploited.

We must build solidarity strong enough to hold the war makers accountable, all of them, no matter which state they represent.
