“…and still I rise!” #BlackExcellence rolls on despite the well-financed “whitelash” against the fulfillment of our destiny as champions of equality and social justice!

Joy, LOVE you gurl, but seriously….the answer is not hard. We just don’t want to hear it. as a result you can’t see it. And they are not angry BTW; oh, their followers may be angry but that’s all part of the plan - to whip people up. That creates a cloak to hide their real motivations.

Their motivations are very simple: to create pain, suffering and even death for the shear sport/fun/control of it. You have to think Zodiac or Ted Bundy. Its thrilling to them and the more you cry, the more they are pleased. The heads running this operation are psychopaths. Most people have never (realized) encountered a psychopath.

I do know whereof I speak. I’ve sat in a room with one and it is chilling. You cannot ‘reason’ with them because their destructive drives are much stronger than any argument no matter how well put. It’s really hard to get your head around this and, the more empathic you are the more blind you are. The average person cannot fathom this degree of cruelty, so consider yourself healthy!

Psychopaths can be very charismatic. The people that gravitate into their orbit and stay there are one of three kinds: 1) naive (“Oh, he/she would NEVER do anything hurtful” [blind], 2) are psychopaths themselves as they tend to travel in packs sort of like-minded kindred spirits, or 3) they are scared and to protect themselves will suck-up in the hopes of getting some crumbs for being ‘useful’ [opportunists with a very weak sense of self].

This is the part that very empathic people have a hard time with…..that is the ONLY thing a psychopath understands is strength and punishment for bad behavior. Punishment could mean losing money (being sued or fined), losing social status (losing a prestigious job or election, or being exposed in the Epstein files), or losing freedoms and control (being jailed). That’s it. There is nothing else that makes any impression whatsoever. To do less than this, to show leniency, will just make them feel like they have won and they will laugh at you while planning their next move. They understand strength - it scares them actually. This is why Gavin Newsom has been effective - that is the winning recipe but few are willing to go there out of fear, being perceived as taking the “low road”, unwillingness to step out of your comfort zone (Oh, that’s just not me…, what would people think!!”).

This is what we are facing. If we don’t face this head-on, then the task gets much harder. Don’t be confused, be clear eyed. Call it as you see it. Be strong, be resolute. Don’t spend time and energy trying to figure out WHY they are doing what they are doing (they are not going to tell you and you can’t figure it out anyway because it’s not part of your psychology). ONLY look at the behavior and what is being done. And phone a friend when you feel overwhelmed…

Peace.

I actually agree with Trump on this. We need to round up and hunt and put all the forces of the government to shut down all the media and all of the people in the organizations that did this.

All right wing, white, separatist, Maga organizations and media need to be pursued and their violence and rhetoric shut down as per President Trump yesterday

Joy, their anger is part of who they are. They don’t need a reason. It is their own personal algorithm, anger and hate breed anger and hate. A never-ending cycle for some.

They appear to be “so angry” because they are loveless; know their status as decent compassionate humans is forever lost because they have chosen to align themselves with the orange moronic loser limp dick weasel currently occupying Our House in DC.
