The mob, and mob-adjacent people in this and perhaps all countries are perhaps best understood as people with unhealed, unacknowledged and festering, generational trauma which tends to metastasize into 'identifying with the aggressor' and acting out their victimizers' blood lust in turn. The only way, it seems, out of this is for each of us, as individuals and in community to call upon our higher angels to alchemize our suffering into understanding and empathy. Which means accepting pain, in some ways allowing our base selves to be crucified and resurrected by it. No turning away, no projecting our weakness, our immorality, our helplessness upon others and dancing around the fire of burning bones. We must look, and look, and look and finally see what's been going on for milennia, then vow that "This ends with me. I will do no more harm, forever."

It is our loss, our peril to become immune to the hatred and savagery happening in our world. We are diminished as human beings, yet those of us who are sickened and disgusted by the horrendous suffering are mocked as “woke”. I worry that our pushback, our votes won’t be enough.

Your dart is in the middle of the dart board on this explanation of maga-savagery. The question is, what will the rest of us do about it.🤔
