Understanding Cycles of Systemic Violence, Supremacist Ideology, and Ecological Crisis:
This paper explores the interconnected, recurrent global patterns of systemic violence against marginalized outgroups. Rooted in historical legacies of eugenics, white supremacy, and transgenerational trauma, these cycles are amplified by economic inequality, misinformation ecosystems, legal and institutional frameworks, psychological identity dynamics, and ecological crises. Recognizing these patterns is essential for approaches that promote justice, sustainable coexistence, and planetary survival.

The Bio-Social Loop: How Culture & Economy Engrave Hate in Our DNA
The accelerating crisis of fascism, racism, and “dehumanizing” behaviors is more than a product of conscious prejudice or institutional design—it is an emergent, biologically mediated epidemic produced by the interplay of cultural, economic, and societal structures with the human genome and neurobiology (Stringhini et al., 2022; Krieger et al., 2022; Kuzawa & Sweet, 2021). New research in neuroscience and social epigenetics demonstrates that these structural forces shape us at the molecular level, perpetuating patterns of aggression, exclusion, and social unraveling that threaten collective stability (Kuzawa & Sweet, 2021; Krieger et al., 2022).
Incense, incensed
There is, within me, a kernel of infinite defiance.I know not it’s origin, for I gathered not fuel.I know not it’s making, for I set not the kindle.I know not it’s purpose, for I was born only to live.All I know is it burns and while it does, so shall I.
A Worthy Labor
There is a simple and compelling truth established by the sciences: universal reality is a system of systems, and all life within it exists only in relationship and interdependence with its surroundings. This conclusion is not just philosophical speculation; it is supported by disciplines such as physics, biology, and complex systems theory. Denying this reality has contributed directly to human suffering, social turmoil, and ecological crises, which continue to threaten our collective future. The observable universe, from subatomic particles to galaxies and biospheres, is characterized by nested systems that interact and rely on each other. No organism survives in isolation. […]
