approximated re-enactment of a conversation among unknown number of voices...
Patriarchy.
What does that mean?
I know archy means ruled by...
By men?
So just by being a man, I rule?
I think it's more rule by fathers.
So I need to get someone pregnant, then I'm one of the rulers of society and you will all have to obey me.
I dont think it works like that.
I dont think it's patriarchy then.
Yeah, seems more like a divisive psyop.
Huh?
Who rules more, the plutarchs or the patriarchs?
Money! Money rules. yeah. Way more.
But men have more money!
Each and all of us?
Bellcurve of wealth further into rulership than the the gender divide.
Like the princeton study!
Yeah, "Patriarchy" seems like an insidiously hateful divisive mislead.
Yeah, evokes and enflames misandry, making half the population objects to hate.
Are you sure? I still think we suffer under patriarchy?
We do, but only by a miniscule amount, and only as an aside to far greater archies.
Yeah, it's a mislead.
I think you guys still dont understand what it means.
I do indeed not understand Patriarchy.
I understand plutarchy... I have to. I can't afford not to.
So it has you think.
Yeah, money changes my thoughts and actions far more than the decrees of all men.
Just specific men!
Why then use a word that paints us each and all as the crooked archons?
Oh yeah.
Getting it.
Starting to.
Hey, but there's a double standard there.
Huh?
Sure, not all men are the rulers,
By a long way.
But not all rich are rulers either.
Yeah, sure, maybe some billionaires care.

The #Republican Party and Their #Billionaire Backersโ Plot Against #America
#THOMHARTMANN
..."Predictably, now that Republicans and the morbidly rich billionaires who own them have broken most of the social contract and systems that held the middle class together (and our middle class has gone from being almost two-thirds of us to fewer than half of us), people are looking for a change.
Politicians have been promising that changeโa break with Reaganโs neoliberalismโsince the 1990s.
Both Bill Clinton and Barack Obama campaigned on change but missed or ignored most of their chances to stop the disintegration of the middle class, and Bush, Bush Jr., and Trump all doubled down on Reaganomics.
Finally now, many Americansโparticularly โlow information votersโโhave reached a breaking point.
Their kids carry hundreds of thousands of dollars of student debt.
Forty-one percent of American families have more medical debt than they can handle.
As Republican governors roll out voucher programs, our schools are failing and simultaneously under attack from fanatic bigots.
Fox โNewsโ and other hate-driven media have convinced them that the U.S. is being โinvadedโ by brown-skinned people.
Theyโre in a constant state of hysteria about CRT, DEI, BLM, Antifa, drag queens, Taylor Swift, and any other boogeymen they can come up with.
These are the people Republicans are counting on to support transforming America from a democratic republic into a strongman authoritarian oligarchy. The GOPโs bet is that if they can keep things broken and bad enough long enough, then people will demand a dictator โwho can get things done.โ
They even hatched a scheme called Project 2025 that hyper-concentrates political power in the White House, pre-positioning the next Republican president to be Americaโs first dictator.
The good news is that President Biden is actually doing something about each of these areas where Republicans have worked so hard for the past 43 years to break our country. And his work is producing good fruit: Inflation is down, employment is up, wages are up, and consumer confidence is growing."...
