An Appeal to the Democratic Minds for Democracy's Truths (My Introduction to DU)

Last edited Sat Mar 17, 2018, 12:56 PM - Edit history (1)

I joined to engage people who appreciate Democracy and the values and dignity that Democratic Ideals aspire to suppoort and promote.
I wrote and will likely still write on other sites, including those which I've come to learn have massive volumes of Right Winger who are "DETERMINED" to attack anything which has any potential to inform and enlighten them, as they will attack anything and everything that speaks to "EQUALITY" and they are as demonstrated by their comments, void of knowing that "Equality" is foundational to what is Democracy, and it is what supports our Representative system of Governance, where Majority Rules help us establish, set and maintain policy for the dignity and goods of America as a Democracy.

My handle "Civic Justice" is relevant to the Civics that support our systems and our civility. I'm not a slap stick one line writer, and I have many 10's of thousands of writing on the web in various forms, as well as 10's of thousands of writing that are not on the web.
I address subject content to explore and expound, to learn, grow and share in the expansion of the great gift we as people have of communication, and to make use not only of the tools of writing, but the great tool of technology that allows us to engage a broad spectrum of people, not only domestically, but globally.

I would hope this site brings interaction with people who feel comfortable and motivated to "explore and expound on subject matter" and not just "react with one liners", but if that's what appeals to some, then its their choice to do so, and it may be their way of communicating.

We as people CAN'T IGNORE HISTORY... I'm not talking about the one sided incomplete history that was taught in school, but the REAL history of America. The History that has been pushed back and people have feigned away from investigation because they don't want to come to know of the horrors that have been interwoven in what has brought us to this day. It is the history that is not all the pleasantries that make the "white man" the constant hero and diminish his acts, and negate the truths about those whom his acts have damaged, harmed an in cases destroyed. A destruction not just of their person, but of their heritage, an in some cases distorted and misrepresented their ideology, their character and their history.

Such things are interwoven in a variety of what I write and what I will write, because we can't "extract" truths as if to "sanitize it" for the mere comfort of those who can't stomach the real truths. It takes a lot to break down centuries of delusions, false hood, mis representation and certainly to break down the delusions of white superiority and the massive volume of work that went into promoting and trying permeate that fiction into the minds of society, and then to spread that delusion across the globe. It means... there is a great deal of work !!!

Those not up to task of such work, will find selective Amnesia as their friend, and Confabulation as their comforter, and folklore as their appeasement. But. Truths...truths are made up of truthfulness and the facts that truth present and expose. Yes, at times it will "inflame" and make "discomfort" to many who have been groomed to void out and not address and some have been groomed to be unaware as well as to fend against the discussion of truths that society invested much not to address.

Civic Justice as a premise requires a lot of work, but it mandates that we review the history that brought us to this day and time. It means we have to understand "how to look", that we may "learn how to see". Then the obvious that we see, can be seen through to investigate and learn how we became so contorted and so turned away from real truths. When we learn how to look that we may know how to see. We will find.. that "America" was built by and through Diversity, and the labors of the many Diverse People, we will learn and acknowledge the abuses and misuses and we can come to learn how "Greed and Avarice" led us Astray. We can learn how the influx of former Serfs, peasants, ghetto dwellers, and those who lived in the outback and uneducated and without civic grooming descend upon the lands of America. We can learn how those who came from ancestry born in Cast and Caste system moved upon these lands, and brought with them a lusting and ideals to want to be like those who thrust them into Cast and Cast system, and how they adopted the manner and intent to become a-similar which lead to greed, material measure as a vile against and upon one another.

There is much we've not considered to consider. over the span of commentary hopefully we can engage much, we have Centuries to review and relearn with "Real Truths"... and it is guaranteed it will not be all of pleasantries, nor will it be patronizing to meet with age to age passed along folklore and confabulation.

those who have no heart for such truth, will by pass the writing I will post, and they will by pass the writing posted by others who embrace and engage in bringing to our current lives the truths of the past, that must be faced, acknowledged, learned and address that we may "relearn to the real meaning and value of what our "Declaration of Independence" truly supported and promoted, Then we can better understand our United States Constitution... as well as how it was "hijacked and perverted by those who chose, greed, avarice, racism, prejudices, and all such things of vain vile, that led us away from the greatness that the Declaration of Independence and Our Constitution sought to create and preserve and promote as our posterity.

I would hope the great minds join discussing and promoting the things that help us get back on course to Truly be the Democracy, that we aspire to create and live within. Civic Justice.... is a truthfulness that we must embrace to have and behold and support the ongoing of the Civic Justice that the "Declaration of Independence" truly supported and promoted, Then we can better understand our United States Constitution.. and move forward to build a better nations and a more fulfilling Democracy.

The site asked that we "Introduce Ourselves", and this is my Introduction.

I write too; about "relationships", and the broad range of Topic Categories that make up the sectors of this site. I share links to things I write an things others write, with hopes to share thoughts and information as well with hopes to inspire others to come and write.

Thank you,
Civic Justice

I agree.. Principle is Equality for EVERYONE!

Coming to understanding's is a work that trudges through disagreements to seek out truths. Truth's stand in and of its own testament.

We've had much hidden, purposefully; much denied purposefully, and even our system of Laws have been 'infected by systems built on humane injustices" and its our duty to work to right such wrongs and make a fair and equitable system of justice and civic and civil society.

Our works are many, thanks to the advent of the "internet" it has opened a pathway that truths can flow like an unconstrained river and gain its filtering on the natural stones, crevices and waterfalls, that are natural to the flowing of rivers into the sea's and oceans of life.

One cannot expect a silky smooth flow, as the rives of the world have many characters and traverse with much rapids, turbulent spans within its flow, yet it "flows".

So is Life of such interesting compositions; Thus so, to scoop up a cup of its waters from a single point along its banks, can never tell of the history that the flowing of the river has made to come and has seen to move on past within its continual flow, but all of such is what makes up what is a river.

I can links to many posting that speak of many things, suitable unto and for those who care to view and review such writings there's a few thousand just on the site City Data, one can view and review and see the content as well as the relentless stream of attacks lodged by the right wing mindset upon and against such commentary, often they attack the writer's, and ignore the contents variables of discussion, all of such writings are listed under the handle "Chance and Change". the perseverance to write in the face of such oppositional attacks serves as and demonstration of stand, to speak about "civics justice" and reflect upon the injustices within our American history, as well as the contortions within our systems and organizations within our American system, over the long history of bias, bigotry, racism, prejudices, malice and abuse of law, and the greed and gluttony that have damages our system of commerce and damaged our monetary system, an attacks our established processes of regulatory governance.

Therefore, I am not put off by disagreements, but continue to push toward the aims at exposure and presentations of truths that aspires to Civic Justice. Its our duty to ourselves, this nation, its people, and the future of our Democracy and its systems that support the ongoing of Democratic Ideals and ways of life. We have a future to protect.

5. One has to believe in "the voice that is theirs"

I've tried and continue trying to get people to invest in writing, be it in forums or news articles, blogs or what ever medium that gets words out and put it out in a format that people can take their time to digest.

I've been criticized about my writing styling and likely such critique will continue. I'm the first to admit that I'm no master at punctuation, and certainly not one that is absorbed in concerns of traditional formatting. I write to convey the thoughts and ideas about things that are relevant to our lives.

I don't know what it takes to get more people motivated to write and share in the commentary that addresses the things within our lives and our society.

One has to believe in "the voice that is theirs", I think its as simple as that. Gather information, research data and investigate factors to gain facts.... and "express it with voice". Communication will then take its course.
