Media is created for profit so games must be played to make it look like the loser deserved to lose. It's like believing in a deity in the sky who we must pray to for survival. In America we must be white, male, strong and loud and we must keep winning. To lose is shameful, to be vulnerable is to lose. People can find so many ways to deny their humanity if it makes them feel vulnerable.

We must see the fault in ourselves in order to deal with it. Our fault is to deny our vulnerability, buy another drink, go to another party, listen to narcissists, avoid eye contact, get drunk, take drugs, watch TV.
