You are one of my favorite writers and thinkers on Steemit. Always a pleasure to read your stuff. You seem original with your ideas, and don't follow trends.

I have also found similar thoughts.

I've noticed that I often go against whatever group I'm in. I just get surrounded by certain ideas enough to find flaws in them.

That's why I don't really consider myself a libertarian or anything like that, even though it's the closest to my ideas. I just think that even if the ideology is one of individualism, people still become sheep within the movement.

Even libertarianism has its own celebrities that the sheep will follow, and whose phrases and punclines the sheep repeat like parrots.

I doubt all of them have ever really given those catchphrases any substantial thought. Some have, I'm sure. But there are lot of bandwagoners.

And what you wrote is true in politics, as well: this is why politics rarely, if ever work out, since politicians need to please the masses, and that always requires compromising your values and whatnot.

Good post.
