Yeah... It happens on both sides, sadly. We are our own worst enemy. Almost none of the people who voted for Trump are fascists or racists. And almost none of the people that voted for Biden are socialist/communist/antifa etc.

And yet everyone focuses on the "almost" and very few on the "none".

Its very satisfactory to point out the idiot. It makes you feel clever.

This is why you, as a politician, need to point out the idiots in 2020

Agreed.

your followers needs someone to feel better than.

In a tactful way.

This is what happens when people regress culturally.

If I agree with you, what does that say of me?

So you don't turn into another Hillary.

@TaLoN132 that you are human?

@TaLoN132 just note this; if you want to be better than the rest, be so by merit. Not by empty words.

Power struggles are just human.

there lies the great divider

the talker or the doer.

Leader and follower, yes.

the boss and the employee.

well, yes and no. You can follow great men and still acquire merit.

A good corporal can determine an outcome.

But one must take great care who one follows.

Sure, but it allocates you a position of power when you're doing your work well.

It means you can do many more things, like ask for a raise and not be laughed out of the room.

IMO seems like Life is just hierarchy on hierarchy on hierarchy, etc.

oh, it is

put three kids in a room, and in 10 min you have a hierarchy

it isnt a matter of having one. It is a matter of which one.

It's a big clusterf&$@ of a mess.

The alternative is my solution. I denounce all contemporary hierarchies, as I belong to one since long eradicated.

So I isolate.

I only make trades with the world. I do not in any way belong to it.

You're still in a more broad hierarchy though!

You can't escape your species!

I said "contemporary" hierarchies.

I suppose you did distinguish that.

but, there is said that the 7th level of consciousness lets you leave the human hierarchy.

Leads us to the question of the definition of contemporary, though.

well, there is no social context you will find me bound by.

nor any society.

Trade only.

Well you socialize!

Not really, unless you count text on a screen.

I certainly do.
