Fear and disgust exist on a continuum, and I think the way out of trauma will always pass through disgust. This is what I am feeling in myself.
It seems likely to me as well that disgust and contempt are flip sides of the same coin. I am tempted to say contempt is unprocessed disgust.
And if you look at the contempt our elites seem to feel for most of us, this is logical. Most of them are severely traumatized but most are either unwilling to admit it, or fully blind to it.
