We live in an incredibly violent culture
A lot of the violence is connected to the death throes of end-stage Capitalism
there are ways to be less violent and there can be good returns on these strategies
our best options are to work within our locus of control manage our violence and contribute to the change
The personal ways include
- Language – noticing the war metaphors and exterminating them from our language
- refrain from dehumanisation are enemies are not inhuman monsters that we can virtuously destroy
- Harness the power of listening
- Self-reflection and deliberate advocacy and modelling
