RE: Collectivism: An Epidemic

in #anarchism8 years ago (edited)

that's where anarchists go wrong for me -- the rejection of your heritage is the rejection of culture... culture is similar to the market in that it is an output of untold number of experiences into practice based on passed down tradition by people just like you -- not only is it not smart (dumb) to reject that much knowledge so coolly, it wreaks of new age bullshit invented to pave the way for the NWO.

nice picture though

Sort:  

....wait, what? Could you elaborate a little on that please?

A rejection of heritage is a rejection of culture.

So what?

culture is similar to the market in that it is an output of untold number of experiences into practice based on passed down tradition by people just like you

That's why I have a problem with it. I prefer logic, reason and evidence over appeals to tradition.

not only is it not smart (dumb) to reject that much knowledge so coolly

Knowledge? It used to be a tradition to feed virgins to volcanoes. How does tradition equal knowledge?

it wreaks of new age bullshit invented to pave the way for the NWO.

Given that collectivism is essentially the defining characteristic of new age mysticism, how does a rejection of collectivism constitute mysticism, exactly?

hey @jaredhowe -- I'll only deal with your last comment ---- it is the only one where it seems you need further clarification -- the complete rejection of one's culture is to begin again, anew -- with a head full of exciting ideas about how wrong thousands of years of ancestors have been and yet how right you are at the ripe old age of, I'll wager a guess, 26, is as bold as it is foolish -- culture is honed and perfected over time and although certainly not perfect, if one at least considers it, he will learn quite a bit -- the connection one feels with his people can be very strong and the NWO agenda seeks to break that bond because it will make one weaker and more susceptible to great change​
