The Psychology of a culture is revealed and perpetuated in how they relate to and treat their children and in how they relate to and treat the most vulnerable people within their society. Heal that and we can heal everything.

This is the best short explanation of how Misinformation is used to create emotional reactive divisions so that Disinformation can be weaponised to get some people tp change behaviour in ways that can be exploited. Nudge Theory as a warfare tool.
How to make people angry at each other and emotionally reactive, stressed out and worried and then nudge behaviour in ways that can be exploited for political or financial gain... by very bad actors...
Here's a song by Katie Goodman that I think helps re-humanise the situation.....
I have also made a cover version of this very fine song...
Learn it, and sing it every morning.... understand that the purpose of the 'Carbon Footprint' campaign was to make YOU feel guilty and offer you a get-out-of-jail card that allowed the Fossil Fuel and Plastics Industries to continue to drill for more Oil and Gas and make much more plastic and do nothing to make those products truly recyclable. Deliberate misinformation designed to protect their Wealth Extraction and political power of Wealth as Power.
It's not YOUR fault.
Ordinary folks like us generate 8% of all CO2 pollution, the rest is generated by Industry, resource extraction and militarism.
What we need is a technological 'Cradle to Cradle' approach to all industrial processes and manufacturing and agriculture and housing and transport...
Wanna know more? here's a short video explaining the principles...
Cradle to Cradle - remaking our manufacturing culture so that it becomes a nurture culture.

Deep Compassion.
In this conversation, Robert shares scientific research related to the neurobiology of transgender people with the goal protecting the rights of transgender people via the creation of informed policies.
This discussion is what I call a rational conversation, it avoids the elements we see all too often in what is called debate - it is a win/win discussion rather than a win/lose war of words. The purpose of the conversation is to arrive at a place where the participants and the audience are enlightened and reassured.
Democracy is trapped in an old paradigm - the struggle for Power
We all know the meaning of the term 'office politics' as an indication of power struggles within person to person relationships within an office. Those relationships are inherently adversarial.
Currently every Democracy in place is an adversarial system, with a Government and an Opposition, which renders political discourse to the level of a debate, with a win/lose dynamic that attracts the most effective linguistic bullies who impede rational discussion at every turn. This amounts to Cognitive Warfare.
Election 2024
The recent 'debates' in US and UK Elections are prime examples of this dynamic being deployed to evade the evidence, reinforce bias and opinion, targeting people with emotionally charged cognitive warfare and this exposes the central lies of the Hierarchy of Wealth as Power Cult that dominates our legislatures.
We do not have any egalitarian polities operational at this time, and I suggest that we need such polities, and rapidly. The harm caused by adversarial relationships within Governance structures and between States is beyond measure. It is utterly toxic, and it is not healthy human nature. It is a cultural imposition - hierarchy of Wealth and Power is not a dynamic every baby is born for, it is not the nature of a healthy relationship between adult and child.
We have never studied the neurology of extant egalitarian peoples, left alone their psychologies.
The academic and medical scholarship is rooted in the study of people living within violent hierarchy cultures.
Normalisation and habituation and internalisation of all of that is not healthy biological behaviour, it is not adaptive, it is a coping strategy that is doomed to fail to deliver healthy humane behaviour as a cultural marker.
The psychological environmental movement is in its infancy and is struggling to be cared for and fed in such manner that it might grow, mature and nurture the world from which it has emerged.

Lizz Truss, Steve Bannon White Nationalist Love Cruise to .....
short Novara film about the Trump-Truss-Bannon-Farage reform love cruise, and its destination
not sure if they have the course set correct, or that they have the wind in their sails.
a bit desperate, unhinged, loopy loop insane and dangerous...
One thing the writer, Peter Jukes, does not write into this article is the back story to SCL, concerning its parent company and their involvement in multiple elections in multiple countries, prior to FarceBark and Cambridge Analytica.
SCL was active in 30+ states, covering 100+ elections, no one is sure these are the exact number. Their activity crossed many boundaries and they were not alone in this kind of organising 'messaging' - Cognitive Warfare.
They were part of a trend in the Conservative party indicated by David Camerons creation of The Behavioural Insights Team as a sub office of the Cabinet Office.
Nudge as a tool of policy. Nudge is in the wrong hands a methodology of manipulation circumstances and social-material space as behavioural modification, into behaviours deemed more appropriate by who knows who, who is likely avoid of all human empathy for the objects of their interest. Cold hearted. Anti-Social.
World map : SCL/Cambridge Analytica - election interference
makes for interesting reading, no conspiracy theory, just business as usual : psychometric neuro-marketing operating in the political domain, exploiting emotional, psychological vulnerabilities.
I think that is really cruel. Don't you?
But yeah, election interference, who does that?
The deployment of cognitive warfare in practice is operating on an industrial scale, funded by right wing white nationalist wealth in USUK, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and now in Ireland, and everywhere.
All those memes that get yer emotions going, one way or the other.... they have a utility beyond out entertainment.
I call this practice Political Grooming. Brexit is a useful, informative case study
Nudging public and online and private debate into more bigoted, discriminatory, authoritarian, and othering space, normalising it as just another political view point, rather than the social-material abuse vector it is. A population has to be groomed into accepting 'war as part of the way it is, part of business as usual and our side are the good guys'. That is a learned behaviour.
Who instructs to habituate such behaviour?
Political Grooming is real and a present threat in our political, cultural, social and private intimate space (our minds and hearts) because it ‘floods the zone with shit’ as a certain Steve Bannon has written and said, a number of times, in different ways, depending on who he is targeting.
Stevie B! is just the front man - the production crew are the various billionaires who fund all this, and who exploit the Christian Fundamentalists urge for theocracy to set up a ‘might is right’ war economy and protect the Fossil Fuel and Pharma and Chemical and Mining and Logging and Farming and Military Industrial Corporations from necessary accountability. Or at least that is the sense I make of it all.
A class war.
The owners, as Rulers, with vast Wealth, deployed as a weapon vs the Subjects, and anyone who threatens the power of the ruling class, they are enemies.
