I’ve been amused that Trump has been the gateway for many Americans to first learn about Joe Salatin and glorious good soil. Me not voting for Hilary (or anyone) was the reason my former Joe Salatin inspired friendship from long ago got blocked by my farmer girlfriend. My gf was enraged that I didn’t support Hilary and FB dumped me after Hilary lost.
My former GF was into soil but she refused to do foundational thinking about society or the impact of her child abuse that distorts perceptions and one’s ability to be curious and discerning to rise above occult-banker inspired tribalism. Her identity was primarily tied to a synthetic tribe, not shared values and personal bonds.
I often post the link to Origins of War in Child Abuse by Lloyd deMause. He’s been criticized for being overwrought but I haven’t seen deep engagement that enables me to see that any critic has awareness of the impact of his own abuse and childhood distortions.
Interestingly, my friend who has shown the most interest and traction with deMause is an anarchist Austrian Aspie firmware engineer. He’s been the best collaborator for exploring deMause’s ideas as a foundational issue — the soil of our souls.
If anyone got this far, here’s the link. #originsofwarinchildabuse
