Reply #6: Everything to do with it [View All]

[Morgana LaFey]

Does this have anything to do with why Republicans are always raping Mother Nature?


You don't consciously, purposely hurt what you love and respect, period. It's an impossibility. That's why we have to demonize people we go to war against (call them gooks or worse, or ragheads, etc.).

But once you HAVE dehumanized a class of people (e.g., Iraqis or women and Nature which you've identified with the archetypal Feminine), no holds barred! You can even claim they deserved it, asked for it, were just waiting for it.

I would not, however, say it's just Republicans. There's enough Dem racism and misogny to go around.
