The title,
How the West Came to Rule,
disturbs me enough to continue reading,
like wanting to escape a nightmare
but too fear frozen with why it could never truly end well
to stop dreaming.
In this case,
is to stop reading.
This history of violent capitalism’s romp across Earth,
fueled by eco-political engines of Europe,
and then industrialized and militarized former colonies,
is brilliantly nuanced and developed
And yet, for me,
the subtitle GeoPolitical Origins of Capitalism
is also the story of
How the East Came to Defeat
through more economically
and politically cooperative-normed extended families
Elder Venerating as reconnecting practice
nurturing personal and familial prosperity,
multiculturally held as religious and ethical,
ecological and psychological,
natural and spiritual grace
Invoking dipolar cobinaries–
yang/yin
FatherSun/EarthMother
mountain/valley
patriarchal/matriarchal
enlightening/empowering
polytheistic ecological balance
In remarkable contrast
to anthropocentric monotheistic
industrially militarized capitalism’s
Great Chosen People Assumption
of worldwide colonizing salvation
by means of unfortunately necessary ballistics
because of Original Anthropocentric Sin,
imagining a monotheistic god
made in our own capitalized
competitive Winner v Loser
prosperous image.
Quite different
than Eastern veneration
of cooperatively co-redeeming mature bodhisattvas
multigenerationally connected
back to sacred EarthMother/FatherSun
prime ecological Earth-pleasure/Anthro-passion
Golden Rule relationship
polyculturally reiterated
throughout worldwide
Creation Story indigenous wisdom
In the West, progressively salvific tough-love
monotheistically justified colonizing wars
to feed anthropocentric prosperity
value measured in capitalized wealth
gained by God-endowed aristocrats
practicing, by divine right,
Saint v Sinner colonization
acquisition
Monotheistic might
makes anthropocentric right
to own Earth’s unstraight
unwhite
unmale commodities
Scientifically supported
by an evolutionary historic theory
that Win v Lose competitive survival
of the anthropocentric fittest
brings more powerful prosperity
than WinYang/WinYin cooperative thrival
of EarthCentric peace-making integrity.
I continue reading
How the West Came to Rule
Anievas and Nisancioglu,
and continue my nightmare epic
How the West Came to Lose Earth Health
as authentically resilient Anthro Wealth.
We have become anthropocentrically capitalized
patriarchal lust for acquiring organic property
through immoral condemnation
and illegal colonization,
justified by messianic ideation
Rather than EarthCentric cooperative
matriarchal love for sacred bodhisattva co-redemption
through spiritual AnthroMind compassion
and natural EarthBody pleasure.
How the West Came to OverRule PolyCulturing Wealth
could evoke reborn again opportunities for ecotherapy,
newly woke nonviolent communication responsibilities,
even academic authority?
for how the West and East cooperate
to OverRule Past-Climate Pathologies
An indigenously panentheistic way
of venerating our holy sainted organic Elders,
Left and Right bicamerally indigenous co-intelligence
multiculturally endowing EarthTribe resilient resonance
with West/East bihemispheric prosperity.
