Patriarchal dominance cements its control beginning with humiliation, proceeding to intimidation and threats, then moving into violence. This vicious cycle has brought us Benjamin Netanyahu and Hamas, and an American cult in love with prurient mobsters that cut women and children off at the knees, and groom them for failure to create prison fodder, cheap labor fodder and cannon fodder. Who controls fertility controls power and wealth in a culture.

Will you vote to continue the toxic lies, fraudulent piety, and vicious cycles of lust, greed and arrogance or will you vote to throw a wrench into the cycles and channel energy away from violence and patriarchal oligarchies?

Will we aim for self-governing free citizenships, healing and averting climate catastrophe? The ball is in our court.
