More About Social Enforcers

Has anyone noticed that it’s impossible to not like someone these days? If you think you don’t like someone then you are sexist, racist, homophobic, xenophobic or a Nazi white supremacist. Have you ever wondered why that is? It’s because there are no longer any individuals in this world! So it’s no longer possible to dislike an individual! How did that ever happen? Apparently your dislike is of a group of people and not of an individual.

Individualism is not even recognized! All there seems to be is fanatical enthusiasm and interest in spiritual movements, moral movements, and social movements. All you have to do is choose which bandwagon you want to jump on! It doesn’t even matter which one you choose as long as you’re not by yourself! Moral faith and social faith are just as radical as religious faith. Personal conviction is not allowed.

What? You say you have a conscience? You want to follow that still small voice that speaks in your heart? That’s not jumping on a bandwagon! That’s an extremely dangerous thing that only individualists do and it can’t be allowed! We are all members of a collective hive mind and there are no individuals. We all have the same thoughts, the same values, the same experiences, and we wear the same clothes and have the same hairdo and listen to the same music.

How many ways can you talk about people without talking about individuals? Apparently there are many more than I thought there was. The problem is that each one of us is an individual! There are individuals that we like and there are individuals that we don’t like. That’s the way it has always been and that’s the way it will always be! I’m getting pretty fed up with “don’t take it personally!”. I think it’s time that we did take these things personally! The individualist is being attacked by all sides! It’s the only thing that these groups of people can agree upon, to destroy the ones that dare to stand alone. To destroy the ones that dare to speak for themselves!
