in our culture is doxa, Matrix. It is what provides us with Hillary vs. Obama and our delusion of that being a choice. It is what constructs petty thugs in black robes as “Chief Justices”. It is the lie that constructs Republicanism and conservatism somehow as ideologies or forces in social discourse, to attempt to mask their essential pathology. Subsuming under “political discourse” the range of antisocial traits we euphemistically construct as a “political ideology” termed “conservatism” is no more than the need of patriarchy to maintain the lie that entitlement and control require and to protect against insight and growth. As in a sick, homeostatic family, we must be civil – remaining comfortably ill depends on it.
