Microagrressions You Say

We hear the term "microagressions"with regard to identity, gender, sexual orientation, race, color, eating habits immigration status and so forth. It can be intentional or unintentional. But where microagression is most common and has the most devastating result is the day to day assault on our consciousness by capitalist ideology.

It is the big lie, the calculated attempt to cover for capitalist exploitation through pathos, appealing to our inherent desire for honesty, kindness, solidarity and so forth. It is an assault on human decency.

The army the capitalist class employs in this assault, are its paid mouthpieces, its professional pimps, (those that are willing and are rewarded monetarily in social status) psychologists, actors, experts in human behavior and its institutions, the media, news anchors and journalists, universities which are capitalist think tanks and so on.

Those that resist are punished through job discrimination, lack of opportunity or, as with Wikileaks founder Julian Assange and Chelsea Manning two human beings to which we owe a debt of gratitude, imprisonment and torture or in many cases death. The greatest cause of depression, alienation, despair and the violence that can accompany it (if we do not have to means to confront the perpetrator) is the capitalist system itself.

I mention the gun issue in here, I want to clarify, that I am not in the camp of gun owners that throw the slogan around "guns don't kill people, people kill people". I would replace it with guns don't kill people Capitalism kills people. Ridding society of guns (and leaving them in the hands of the forces of the state) is not the answer. Ridding society of capitalism and the private ownership of the means of producing needs and human life is the answer.
