Now that Restorative Justice
has raised her Gaian ecological purpose,
to restore polyamorous peace
in polyphonic
polypathic Turquoise Eden,
how do you continue to justify
a win v lose Retributive Justice evolutionary philosophy
of law and moral order
as contributing to healthy
win+win
regeneratively revolutionary democracy?
Asked the social systemic trauma Judge
of UnitingNations jurisdiction.
Restorative Justice
was never intended to be effective
when either victims or predators
are unwilling,
often incapable,
of re-engaging in cooperative
interdependent
every body wins dialogue,
egalitarian discernment
in-between Trust
and MisTrust
and hostile DisTrust
and restorative ReTrust.
So you argue
win+win regenerative assumptions
of self-conscious+other-sentient creatures
are not safely,
and not realistically, accessible
for all the healing dreams
and therapeutic purposes
endemic to our Gaian muse of peace?
An insufficiency
of experience
with healthy democratic revival;
yes.
And, where victims and a healthy society
are presumed Winners
by punishing scofflaw Losers,
how will continuing to primally rely on win v lose retribution
lead us toward this noble,
and unconditional loving goal
to achieve healthy democratic peace
for all Earth’s regenerative creatures?
Retributive Justice
is the State’s weapon
to protect the Common Good
from further injustice,
a deterring threat;
not a tool
or medicine
toward an effectively remediated peace,
domestic
or international,
private
or public resilient health.
How do you respond
to therapeutic win+win possibilities
of multiculturally mediated dialogue
to bring together victim compassion
with wrongdoer remorse,
without corporeal threat of criminalization?
Retributive Justice outcomes threaten further
release and parole caseloads,
recidivism,
imprisoned and exploited populations
of marginally surviving misfits,
disproportionately poor
and dark-skinned
Traditional patriarchal systems
do not over-invest
in democratic health
or economic opportunities
of our predative
and victimized,
traumatized
and terrified,
despised
and marginalized,
raped
and pillaged citizens,
as these are not well-established
in win+win cooperative investments.
I’m not sure
arguing against further patriarchal
competitive 0-sum capital investments
helps your justice through matriarchal cooperative
cause.
You invite the World Court to question
whether anyone is capable of sufficient trust
in resonantly democratic peace,
internal and external,
anthropological and ecological,
to actively communicate egalitarian
restorative
healthy democratic choice-making
Facing toward compassion,
facilitating co-empathic communication disciplines,
expanding EarthFirst nonviolence
to therapeutically mediate Gaian Hypotheses.
Well, actually I invite the Court
to recognize
Gaia has already recreated
and regenerated thriving
bicameral balancing minds+bodies
crowns+roots
capital+physical
ethos+eros
compassion+pleasure
cognition+intuitrion
consciousness+sentience
So unconditional love
doesn’t really notice
if I would prefer to debate
against some ultimately punishing
win v lose diminishing
dissonantly patriarchal
distantly monotheistic
and anthropocentric
DisUniting Nationalistic Judge
Left hemisphere verbally dominant
outspoken ex cathedra
