3. And it is a good thing, too.

Their ignorant projections of repressed emotions and traumas, combined with their tendency to lack empathy or compassion wrapped in a self-righteous, malignant style of individualism and a yearning for power and control over others would most definitely create some form of a nightmare dystopia for everyone else.

Their obvious need for an authoritarian Father figure to be in charge in order for them to feel "safe" not only reflects antipathy for true freedom, it is now antiquated and only useful for despots and Oligarchs who would foist a Neo-Feudalism on the world if given the chance. To preserve, strengthen and grow a health democracy, seeing that contrast is essential.

This is not acceptable and the remedy is to be vigilant, well-informed and to even understand them better than they are able to understand themselves. Not only does that surely distinguish us from their immature and dark world view, it gives us the power and ability to thwart their attempts to fashion the world in their unacknowledged shadow. Whether they do it by way of using ideology or religion, we will not be fooled and we cannot acquiesce to that.

Now is the time when the law, real justice and truth must be on our minds and held up high as the symbols of what we stand for in this time of great crisis.
