First let’s get this straight:
I am not the t-word.

I am alternative means:
un-consumer weltanschaung

(worldview)

as opposed to P. R. Blitz
bandying sacrosanct terms:

democracy
freedom
good guys and bad guys
us and them
inviolable rights
national security
the march to war

as for the kingword:
Empire

its practitioners turn eyes blind
from its cruelest truths:
genocides
extinctions
erosions
explosions

un-creation
desecration

believing the cause of death, somehow,
writ holier than thou corpse.

“The Indians, wrote Senator Dawes of his Allotment Act, lacked ‘selfishness, which is at the bottom of civilization.’”*
