RE: Majority is always right!
I am sorry but it's the only way to achieve liberty. You have to have a consensus structure, but that structure should be set up in a way to limite the agression.
Ignoring won't work, because populists and demagogues, throughout the history of mankind will just use force to achieve their way. How do you think the modern state grew out of a tribal society? What happened to the tribesman who ignored the chieftain?
So you can't ignore authority, that strategy won't work. You have to give back authority to the individual in a systematic way, as I propose.
Besides, what do you think your body is? Doesnt the cells in your body uniformly agree on everything, otherwise a cancer is forming.
So the same way as the cells in your body have to have a >99% consensus on something, the same way you have to have that level of agreement between people in order to introduce a radical change.
People won't throw out basic concepts of morality, but if they do, then you need 99% of people to agree, otherwise there will be chaos.
But people, yourself included as evidenced by both your article and your response to my comment, all too cheerfully "throw out basic concepts of morality" based on such indoctrinated but false notions as "it's the only way," and "you have to have" this or that." It is immoral to initiate force against your neighbor, no matter your cause.
Because he was destroyed, does that justify the chieftain's act? Should my fear induce me to "go along to get along?" Because the majority is scared shitless that my unvaccinated child will spread disease among them, shall I accede to their mass-delusional, ignorant, fear-driven "wisdom" and stand idly by while their "political" force holds my beloved child down and inserts toxic poisons into his bloodstream?
I of course cannot "ignore" authority, but only because I must resist, flee, hide from, and outsmart it at every turn. I do not need authority given back to me "in a systematic way," I already possess it inherently and will not willingly relinquish it to either you or your mob.
I have no problem whatsoever with authentic agreement - case in point, this marvelous blockchain-based platform that we are presently using as the medium for a peaceful discussion, Steemit. It is clear that my agreement with you alone or a million other Steemians confers no right upon us to become oppressors who impose our consensus upon a single individual who is not in agreement with us.
