@amerika @h4890 @Cosmic @FourOh-LLC @cjd Socialism is anti-thetical to the core philosophy of the Enlightenment and collectivism is just another name for all the rotten ideas that birthed socialism.

I 100% agree that it's the inept that love collectivist ideology because they're afraid to have to stand on their own two feet. It's the ideology of the weak. They turned opression into virtue. It's a sick inversion of the mortality of freedom, which values strength and competence and resilience.

I see it as basically the social divide that our culture is battling. The Left have a slave-peasant mentality, and want to impose it on everyone, and we want to be left alone. Unfortunately, we've allowed them to control education and media, which are powerful social institutions, so we sleep walked into our current problems.
