sorry for late response, but thanks for this.
locus of control is always a false story we tell ourselves, right? let's ask the archetypal solitary mountain man about his ability to control his environment.
You've identified for me two of the basic hustles of the usa's right wing :
- providing the illusion of locus of control
- disassociating people/society from nature
- homesteader mauled by a bear = heroics!
- getting mugged in the city = decadence
- providing the illusion of locus of control
- disassociating people/society from nature
thank you
