Comment Individualism = Pie in the Sky? (Score 1) 136
JK, I'm a little unclear on what you intend to mean by "individualism." You seem to use it to address a number of concepts, from people working together for a greater good, to antisocial misanthropes. Could it be that the word you are looking for is "humanism?"
Personally, I think we can be as individual as we damn well please, but that isn't going to stop our governments and our corporations from operating in ways that are retrograde to the natural needs and desires of mankind. I think it would be more important for people to think about how they, as individuals, are already changing the world around them by taking part in these anti-humanist organizations.
A whore can differentiate herself all she likes, but she's still a whore. A theif can carry himself in a way unlike all other theives, but he's still a theif. An american can struggle to be more individualistic. . .
