Dislike belonging to formal groups,
parties, associations? Do not want to be controlled by the
wolves, who usually shepherd the sheep? Yet end up being suppressed in so
many aspects of your life by all of
them?!
They, however, love to congregate and be
shepherded, told what to do, who to like, what to hate etc. The "Animal Farm" concept
doesn't describe only the totalitarian societies - we all are enslaved
by the systems (cultures, doctrines, ideologies etc.), which create
and justify delegating the control of power structures to 'leaders',
politicians without sufficient methods of scrutinizing their activities.
Yes - there is some possibility of the
press finding things out, but the real crunch is in the phenomenon, which
we call 'Circular Conspiracy'. We can't help it to belong to some organization
(even the hermits are usually affiliated with some monastery). Loyalty to the organization always is a
prerequisite of belonging. The conflict of interests - personal,
family, organizational, society as a whole and humanity in its totality -
is at the heart of the issue we are trying to raise.
The comfort zone lies in the balance of all
these loyalties/interests, yet, the group always tries to impose the group’s
interests vs. the individual’s interests/needs and (depending on the openness of
the society’s or group’s public opinion) ends up serving those who are in
control. The best illustration is the recent American and (by consequences)
world situation, which we call 'Bushitization".
There is a way to informally unite all the people who want to contribute to the debullshitization of our civilization. Speak up and expose!
From the practice of
celebrities endorsing products they don't really know, to the corrupt
behaviour of governments coercing and intimidating their employees to be a
part of the activities harmful to all of us - we all participate. One way or the
other.
Responsible whistle-blowing is
encouraged.
