Individuality as a Weapon Against the NWO

Individual. Oxford’s Living Dictionary defines this word as a single, original entity-- a distinctive person or attribute. When contemplating the meaning of the word, I imagine that whatever makes one an individual must be aligned with one’s true essence- the lowest denominator of self. Which would mean that once a person has to compromise just one of his/her core values in order to fit into a group, he/she ceases being an individual and begins the painful process of self vivisection-- dividing his/her own house against itself. Hence the dissonance which pervades our lives today and provides the current of our political and social spheres. However, there is plenty of hope for the future of humanity: As Ruth Anshen writes in a forward to Erich Fromm’s The Art of Loving “There is in mankind today a counterforce to the sterility and danger of a quantitative, anonymous mass culture, a new, if sometimes imperceptible, spiritual sense of convergence toward world unity on the basis of the sacredness of each human person and respect for the plurality of cultures.”

We already know about strength in numbers--now let's contemplate the strength of the individual. First, the individual is the polar opposite of the fascist (by definition) which makes it attractive already in my book. Next, a thread on a fascinating speech by Dr Day in 1969 has directed my attention towards the methods TPTB employ to control the masses, and when contemplating how to counteract these methods, I invariably come back to the power of the individual. By studying the successful fascist/totalitarian states of late, one can discern a pattern that the first things to go are those that promote individuality (art, fashion, music, speech, learning, religion-- yes, religion- one is not faithful to the state if their allegiance lies with The Most High- I don’t have the time to expand here on the freedom of religion but would be happy to pm anyone on the subject). Finally, if you and I were completely honest with ourselves, we would admit that it is much easier to control (or demonize) a homogenous group than the individuals that comprise it.

This excerpt from an article on North Korea demonstrates the way in which a unique hairstyle can make a totalitarian regime tremble in its state-issued boots:
"the regime has long enforced stringent rules on styling; at one stage, state television ran a series titled Let’s Cut Our Hair In Accordance with Socialist Lifestyle.

Han Myong-hee, also using a pseudonym for her interview in China, said adult women were told they should have hair that was neither too short nor too long, preferably put up neatly in styles without too much volume. A vogue for excess bounciness was suppressed a few years ago."
www.theguardian.com...

If TPTB had their way, they would eliminate all outliers, all gender distinction, and have us all looking like this:




Rather than this:


If TPTB had their way, once a person identified with a certain political affiliation, their minds would be made to suit the party, rather than the other way around. If TPTB had their way, worthless junk would replace creative works, and the theaters/radio/tv would be flooded in conformist, valueless kitch.

So, my friend. and I am talking to YOU. Yes, YOU, and your bad, beautiful, unique self: Go out there and do you! Be yourself, think for yourself, create, differentiate, and when you see the freaks, don't laugh and point, don't ostracize, but enjoy.. for therein humanity thrives.

You probably hate Rush Limbaugh, but he sums it up like this: The individual is the smallest minority and the one in greatest need of protection.

Ayn Rand has said if you support minority rights, then you support the individual.


This is also a good snippet of video. This is Thomas Sowell being interviewed about one of his books. Sowell could be considered something of a national treasure. Here he is talking about the temptation for the highly educated to think they should control everything, not because they are actually experts on everything (Noam Chomsky is a linguist, not any kind of social scientist, for example) but because they feel like they have a load of degrees so they should be smarter or something.

It leads to hubris and a desire to control among other things, taking away the decisions from the very people who have to live with the consequences of those decisions - individuals.

Hey zosi, great thread.

You're right, they don't want us to be Individuals and be able to think for ourselves. It's already happening, and has been for quite some time. Everything you mentioned that TPTB want, just take a look outside your window, they've already taken control of anything that has any kind of influence over our society, for the sole purpose of indoctrinating. A lot of people don't want to acknowledge this fact, but I don't blame them because that's the whole point of the indoctrination. This current facade of 'strength in numbers' is nothing but a ploy to control. What's a thousand sheep to a couple Lions?

What they don't want is a bunch of lions..

Be shLeep or else..


Thanks for the thread

Hi, kets!

Thank you for the excellent video. I just watched and found it quite fascinating. It reminded me of the "white coat" experiments-- how exactly do our politicians convince us (against our own logic) that they know what's best for us?

lol, I don't particularly love Rush, no. But that won't stop me from agreeing with him if he says something that resonates.



Great comments.

I love this comment, Hunter! shLeep... LOL! (And thanks to Hunter for encouraging me to write this).
I agree that we are already in the midst of enforced conformity. The cheering aspect of this is all it takes to break free is to be true to our self! How easy is that?

What is the most influential force in your every day life? Yourself and your own unique perspective in this universe. Those in power DO take that away from us, our individuality, by making us focus more on outside events instead of the ones going on within the here and now inside this experience happening.

The "individual" is the most powerful force in the universe and we all have it inside of us, they don't want us knowing that so they give us bread and circus to distract us and divide us.

Excellent comment. Quoted and bolded for emphasis. The show is a distraction to keep us separated from our own self!

Sounds easy on paper, but when you bombard society with superficial images, glamorous lifestyles and perfect faces, throw in social media and connect the entire world together. You can start to see why and how it goes wrong.

But that is hardly even the cherry on top because it goes much much much deeper than that.

a reply to: knowledgehunter0986

Agreed, my friend. And evil, manipulative people learn how to use some of humanity's best qualities (the urge to connect with others, to accept and be accepted, to belong) against itself.

This is an excellent point well taken. When being oneself goes against the grain, it becomes a much more difficult, painful process.

Thanks for the interesting and well written thread. I wanted to leave a comment, although I don't know what I could add that others haven't already. Hard to maintain your individualism in today's world. Mostly it seems that it's a "you're either with us or against us" mentality. I prefer to have a few more options then that.

Your thread is a nice reminder of how valuable being yourself really is.

Thanks,

Thanks, blend57, for adding your own unique perspective to the thread!

I love that you brought the attention to the common belief (fallacy) that "you are either with us or against us," and the need for humanity to leave room for a few more options than that.

And I have noticed that each member who has commented so far brings a very distinctive personality and perspective to these boards. friends!

It's funny..try to treat and speak to people like they are individuals..most will be puzzled and have an empty look in their eyes.
It's rare (at least for me) to find 'Individuals' in real life.

Interesting point!!! I have definitely noticed that people tend to be confused when you fix your undivided attention on THEM. When you respond to pleasantries by looking people in the eye and saying "I'm GREAT, How are YOU?"
There's always a pause..
I think it makes us a bit uncomfortable, but I also think we like being really seen

Maybe because most people ask this just to..ask it, they don't really care or want to know.
It find this very funny, I try to push a conversation with details just to see them stutter.

Lol, you seem to have a bit of the trickster archetype about you!!! Great job friend, keeps us on our toes.

Nationalism is an existential threat to the globalist agenda. They LOVE communism and socialism because it is a defined caste system; the ruling class and the rabble that has complete dependence on them. The last thing they want is a system where independent free-thinkers and entrepreneurs can climb the rungs and displace them (ie. Trump).

This is why they have hammered the notion that all forms of patriotism somehow equates to the most extreme example of Nazism while glorifying people like Fidel Castro.

An interesting article regarding your post:
gatesofvienna.net...

As we roll into the New Year, we are witnessing the prelude to the culmination of a titanic struggle between three great actors. Three great social forces are now set in motion for a 2016 showdown and collision that will, in historical terms, be on par with the First and Second World Wars. Two of these great social forces are currently allied in a de facto coalition against the third. They have forged an unwritten agreement to jointly murder the weakest of the three forces while it is in their combined power to do so. One of these two social forces would be content to share totalitarian control over large swaths of the globe with the other remaining social force. One of these social forces will never be satisfied until it achieves complete domination of the entire planet. So what are these three great social forces? They are Islam, international socialism, and nationalism.

Thanks for your comment.

That's an interesting perspective, and I'm inclined to agree. It's going to be a rough ride ahead.
