Subcultures be Damned and They are Killing Us
Iāve studied psychology all my life. I studied canine behavior for twenty years. https://www.bebee.com/producer/@joyce-bowen/the-business-of-canines
I once had two bitches that had puppies in the same moments. Ā One bitch scrambled over to the other litter and demolished two puppies. Ā I locked the offending bitch up, and wouldn't you know it, she worked the latch and killed one more. Ā Are humans the same?
One of the most disappointing epiphanies I experienced was that human beings engage in āpackā behavior. We call them subcultures. We tend to prey on each other. Itās as ifĀ we are climbing over the bodies we leave behind to get to the top.
I see subcultures all the time. I am fascinated, enthralled, and dismayed. There are subcultures everywhere. We have them here on beBee. We have them throughout the human hierarchy. Doctors have a subculture; police have a subculture; and yesāwriters have a subculture.
One of my most disappointing moments was when I was showing a beautiful dog, and another breeder approached me and expressed that before my animals āmadeā it, I had to pay my dues. I thought I was showing a damned dog. I had no clue that my participation was being judged. I stopped showing.
I rail against the power and control imposed by these hierarchies. I refuse to play the game. I am a social activist because of it. I see something happening, and I am driven to comment on it. It has caused me to experience more failure than I care to reveal. Not playing the game has hurt me, but I donāt care. I belong to the human race, and I believe it should be a level playing field. Subcultures be damned.
Children are viewed as collateral damage in many subcultures. I dig in my heels and roar about this.
Activists only emerge when the issues they disgorge rise to the top. Oh waitāthere is a subculture amongst activists, too.
Subcultures will destroy humanity. Until we reach across our self-imposed chasms, we will fail.

Alas, I think it is the ilk and [now] sheer power of the psychiatrists & psychologists, along with the populations need to 'fix what isn't always broke' rather than take the time for natural order; this is so very dangerous. I'm not anything psy (unless in ends with path :) ), but I had seen the damage done to indulgent honey families - the middle class whites. Did affirmative action help our noble people of color? No. Those of good intention without intelligent consciousness can do more harm, but not YOU, lovely Lady!

Gee-and I gotta say--one of the biggest subcultures in the US is psychologists and related professions. They have tremendous power. Although. I am a psychologist, I try to avoid them. Thank you, Lisa Vanderburg.
