^This article really hits home for me. It's something that's been on my mind for a while but I couldn't figure out how to express it. Read it if you have time.



"Autocratic rulers are first and foremost salesmen; they convince us that life itself has a �cost�, that we are born indebted, and all bills must be made payable to the establishment. First and foremost, we are sold on the idea that in all of this, we are ultimately alone�"


"It is within these manipulated concepts of cost and isolation that we discover the foundation of all totalitarian cultures: Collectivism."



"Existentialism attacks individualism from the philosophical end; suggesting that all actions and reactions are random results of a purely chaotic universe, while at the same time peddling moral relativism and apathy."


"Religious organizations that choose to abuse their positions of trust also feed collectivism by standing in the way of personal awareness, or even making it taboo to value the individual over the collective (though people tend to wrongly blame the concept of religion itself, rather than the corrupt men who sometimes misuse it)."

"Innovation� and �progress� are alluring dreams, dreams which can easily be realized in a free society made up of intelligent individuals thinking in ways which go against the norm. The more unique insights present in a culture, the more likely it is to surpass itself and succeed."
