  1. Domestic violence has a few markers, the most important one being wealth inequality. The bigger the gap between rich and poor, the worse a country does on almost everything: mental illness, prison, child welfare. The worst marker being violence. More unequal countries have more homicide, consistently, study after study, decades of them.

    Inequality makes status matter more. When status matters more, humiliation costs more. And the commonest triggers for male violence are exactly that: disrespect, loss of face, being made to look small.

    James Gilligan, a psychiatrist, spent decades interviewing violent men in prisons and found the same thing underneath nearly all of it: shame.

    Widen the distance between the top and the bottom, and the men near the bottom will hurt someone rather than be seen there. Usually a woman. Usually the nearest one.

  18. Governments and their politicians are removed from reality and only seek to maintain current power structures, as that is what benefits them the most.

    They know who their constituents are (the rich), and there are no considerations of what the vast majority would benefit from.

    There have been no consessions for decades, the income gap is growing, climate change is ravaging the world, inflation is ballooning and yet governments around the world prove themselves feckless, incapable of doing the bare minimum for the worker. Instead they give more to their powerful friends who already have money, and claiming that it will help the rest of society. They shall be the first against the wall when the revolution comes.

    Revolution will come for them, and the people will pick up the pieces on the path to something better.
