1st..Hypocrite Religions..it teaches that all life is sacred.(esp.humans)And truthfully human life is as valuable as any other life is it's only special because our culture is so anthropocentric.,in this world a life in order to continue existing it is forced to feed upon the living beings around itself.The very fabric of our existence as lifeforms is dreadfully flawed. The real enemy is not changes,it's life and the destruction it requires of life just to exist here.That is the real injustice.
2nd..Elitism: the game of have and have nots. There are have nots who cannot afford to give birth but they do.Our culture so believes in inequality of people,all living and each are sacred..just we think some are more sacred than others,our actions speak louder than sentiments or guilt trips do. The generational families that are the biggest hoarders of societies collective wealth NEVER get called on their insane greed because everyone is waiting for a turn at the money trough.The rich withhold the fruits of many people's labor to themselves.They are not entitled to this,we are just conditioned to believe they are.Just like a serf thinks a king is"natural". The fact is this is a culture built on anti-social,inhuman values. Like selfishness and the competition it fosters between people who will not share is destroying us one by one.

Mental illness/medical model
Psychiatry is for the most part a failure.It is witch doctoring in white coats.Badly done.

A pill and an hour of venting every week will not remove the deep scars on the heart of growing up with sick parents who were scarred and never resolved it, in a sick abusive culture.
Our culture is abusive,dehumanizing,degrading and emotionally painful,and it makes for individuals who are traumatized.
Until we honestly look at the sociopath side of our culture (and our own hearts for that matter)and really refuse to enable the sick games of narcissists,bullies and abusers.I mean just stop it stop being a jerk being violent etc.The only truly free choice made in an abusive situation is the choice a bully makes to bully someone else.And violence and belittling speech is _always_ a choice too ,being hurt by an asshole isn't always chosen..How long until we admonishing hurting people for being "too sensitive" when they are hurt by some ass.When will we stop going into denial,and stop blaming the 'messengers'and discrediting them when it makes us squirm?..Until we look at trauma issues as individuals and as a culture nothing will change.We will keep on playing pretend and hurting each other.

And this truth applies to parents especially.

Let the chain of abusive family legacy be broken with you,do not fill your child up with the things your parents hurt you with, because you are in emotional pain. Give the child a chance to have their own voice.Even when you don't like what you hear.
