This does take advantage of the "lizard-brain" or "cave-man instinct". When there is a shortage of food then you stockpile... sometimes that means fighting and competing with others in order to ensure your own survival and prosperity... however people generally take it too far and we can see that with the disparity of the classes and the incomes.
I do not need to have gold-encrusted sports car to survive. After a certain point I have all I need then the best way to make sure I do not get killed on my front porch is to make sure that all my neighbours also have food and security.
It's just another iteration of the classic pitting of people against each other (instead of countering the evil fuckers that put everything in motion). If people came together, organized, cooperated, and collaborated in the production of food and resources, that would cover most daily needs easily, and it would also remove dependence on government, which is a very good thing.
I don't need or want most of the bright-and-shiny, blingy nonsense for which most people strive. It just has no meaning for me. In actuality, I only need a very few things to live in a way that feels good to me. Out here, I can easily live on a few hundred dollars per month. π π π β¨ π€
Indeed. I really do not need to control other people in order to feel happy in my own!
Exactly, and no healthy human does! Ditto that here times ten! π π π β¨ π€
Indeed. Sort of like a mental... condition... perhaps perpetuated again by fear...
You hit the nail on the head! π π π β¨ π€

I absolutely agree.
At one stage myself and a few friends were interested in creating a "Holdfast" even if it is near or in a city.
