First of all, thanks that you took the time to reply with such an interesting comment. While i do understand what you are saying, and where you are going with this, i do not think it is a solution.
There always have been many problems with Tribal ways of living, even nowadays especially with what you call family tribes. The bigger the family/group the stronger the pack, And the more land, crop or food you can take from others if there would not be any form of state or rule of law. If that would happen, we would have a big change to go back to the dark ages, and then we would have survival of the fittest, strongest, vilest etc. And i really hope & believe that we as a humanity have overcome that part of our history. But often reality catches up with me there ...
While i am kind of a hermit myself, living in a very (sometimes even too) individualistic country, i do see problems with people living here that originate from more tribal society’s, which also brings problems, herd/pack based mentality vs the peaceful individual is a battle you just can not win. Just as you can not win as an individual or pack from a state (like you said)
I do believe that many people want a change, because deep inside we know we are not on the righteous path, but to many people are with their good ment actions, doing the bidding of the state. We still have a small timeframe to turn things around, though the window is closing fast, and while i believe unity amongst humanity would be a major leap towards the right solution, i just have to look around to see that each day we are drifting further apart
I'm not proposing a specific "solution", I'm just trying to point out that the "problem" is much more complicated than most people think.
People love to say they want "freedom" but put very little value and effort into REAL INDEPENDENCE.
People LOVE CONVENIENCE but fail to see how it makes them SLAVES.
MOBSTERS (like the FBI and "the church") have found ways of hijacking people's natural instinctive value hierarchy.
PROTECT YOURSELF
PROTECT YOUR FAMILY
PROTECT YOUR PROPERTY
Most often they redefine "FAMILY" as their organization, specifically the leaders of the organization, and then try to push "PROTECT YOURSELF" out of the picture with idiotic claims of "duty and honor" and false promises of memorials and eternal memory for those who die protecting the organization ("die for your country").
It's all a big con-game.
I believe if we could just teach enough people the basics tools of the con-artist, they'd be able to see through the multiple layers of scams.
It's not a specific lie I'm fighting against, it's a system of lies held together with carnival strings.
