      For years I worked as a face painter. The number of times a parent forcefully held their crying, unhappy child's face still astonished me. I always refused to paint them. You will forcefully restrain your child to get their fucking face painted?

      Face painting is supposed to be a fun activity FOR THE CHILD. The irony of that is beyond measure.

      Don't even get me started on parental manipulation and gender norms in the facepainting line...holy shit some parents take out their insecurities on their children...

      Yes they do. And they aren't even aware (if they were, they wouldn't do it). Imagine that---we have how many people on this planet who have lived beyond 30 years who still just do things because they do them? Or just because others do them? Unreal.

      I mean, in fairness, that isn't the bad part, the bad part is that they kept getting broken and taught bad things and have few if any true healing processes to access...

      Oh, of course. I understand that people act in ways that make sense to them. I understand that the ability to develop the sort of self-awareness required to break pathological patterns relies on all sorts of forces outside of one's control....

      Which is why, if we have something like public school, then why the hell does it not marshall those forces to produce such a self-awareness? If we have "politics," then why aren't we creating the social conditions to foster this self-awareness?

      If education and politics doesn't foster the capacity to self-awareness & compassion, then what good is it for? Everything we do matters, and we all share this space. Education and (as) politics starts there. If it doesn't lead to understanding of self~other, is it good?

      path dependency in all things. plainly, our education system is harmful and has produced a society with a harmful politics. hurt-people hurt people. we have an institutional system in place that hurts nearly everyone it touches at least a little bit, and some a whole lot.

      Replying to @danlistensto @autotrnslucence and

      Agreed. Decisions are made at the top for the benefit of those at the top, with the unconscious participation of those "below." If education doesn't address who "we" is, in the typical political discourse, it serves the few.

      it serves nobody at all. maybe "the few" are able to arrange things to preserve their own status as elites, but they and their children are similarly being deeply harmed by the system they have created.

          in America the elite define themselves by their access to wealth and status (interchangeable mostly) but they are most certainly not happy and satisfied people. they seem extra miserable, all things considered, utterly consumed with their wealth/status games.

          Yup...I totally agree. It doesn't actually serve them. They are like the Hungry Ghosts that I once heard Gabor Mater refer to. They consume and consume but are never satisfied.
