Fuck sometimes I forget the horrifying reality that a woman (apparently) married Stephen Miller out of their own free will...
It breaks my brain since Stephen Miller obviously does not believe in the free will of Women, so the idea of a sentient human being deciding upon their own accord to subject themselves to Stephen Miller for a lifetime when Stephen Miller is hostile to their basic identity as a sentient human being just feels comically unlikely but here we are.
There are a whole lot of Republican women who support the oppression of women, just as there seem to be a whole lot of Republican immigrants who support kidnapping immigrants and sending them to death camps. People are weird.
Hate, Violence and Oppression are all fundamentally wave-like phenomena, they don't simply exist as a single coherent entity that barges through the world colliding with victims, they function as waves that propagate through networks of people, sending pulses of suffering and violence streaking radially through social webs of interaction.
That is what makes these things so evil and why people can be so easily convinced to hate themselves. The arc of reaction is simply that of being hit by the wave of suffering first and then second transmitting it to the next victim whether that be yourself again or another. From the outside you see someone only hurting themselves, only hating themselves and it seems illogical but again that is because we conceptualize these things as not inherently wave-like. Nobody expects to be able to only experience one half of a wave motion, to only feel a push and not a pull, that is not how we understand waves and the same line of thinking should be applied here.
A more interesting question is how do some people manage to NOT experience Hate, Violence and Oppression as a wave? How do you experience these things, resist them and overpower them without simply absorbing the momentum of the wave and transmitting the evil of it in some other form subconsciously or consciously? How do you grab onto a piece of grounding sea floor and hold on so you aren't sucked out to sea by the current of anger and righteousness? That is in my mind one of the essential unfair crimes of making someone a victim of something, now you have not only hurt someone with whatever act you did, but you have also given them the emotional burden of needing to find a way to resolve the immense emotional forces that surround their experience of being hurt that doesn't reduce their character or diminish their capacity for love. In my opinion most people are generally very good at doing this, but over a lifetime the hate can build up in the blindspots like crud on a windshield and so in some way you place a person's soul in danger by asking them to repeatedly respond only with grace.
It's all fine and dandy if it happens to other people.
Women aren’t any less prone to stupidity, insecurity and narcissistic evil than men.
If you watch any videos of his wife “debating” politics you’ll understand there really is someone out there for everyone.
True, and also bears are even less prone to stupidity, insecurity and narcissistic evil than human men!
