Thank you Pim. That is an excellent way of describing what’s going, “both perpetuates and conceals” the ongoing system of domination, which is premise upon the generally unstated claim (presumption) of a right of domination. The concealment is accomplished by means of synonyms and euphemistic synonyms for domination, such as civilization, property, state, etc.

Looking forward to more of "break the hypnotic spell so we can learn how to see and behave in a manner that is beneficial to one another and all living things."

Steve - You're a major contributor in your other writing and presentations. Great to have your work on Substack!

The theme here -- 'chronic' -- nicely frames the problem.

As a writer of fiction, I am in awe by the way you expose the wizardry [= language & etymology that both perpetuates and conceals the mentality] of the ongoing domination system.
