The Problem? The Hierarchical Paradigm
The Extent? Full spectrum usurpation has already occurred over many generations through the paradigm and has not stopped
--- and it is continually evolving.
How?
Minds self-shackled to systems that are only superficially non-hierarchical - even democratic, but are clearly hierarchical upon inspection.
Worse, even those who see the hierarchical systems, see not the evil of the paradigm
- they attribute the fault of the paradigm to those wielding power
-- they thus miss the forest for the trees.
People are unable to fathom:
1. The evils that the Hierarchical Paradigm is capable of unleashing and has unleashed:
- dehumanizing: the suffering it causes people to inflict upon others (genocide) and upon each other (war)
- subjugation: what the Hierarchical Paradigm usurps from them: Livelihood, Gnosis, Power ie their lives AND Humanity itself
2. The agency that each person has - the ability to unshackle & free self from the Hierarchical Paradigm
