The world has become insane. I feel like we're watching bad theater only we can't leave.
If someone wants to live like that, fine. The problem becomes they expect that the rest of us need to live that way as well and then they attack us when we won't. This is the way forward towards a new dark age.
The state and all it's trappings is their religion now. I firmly believe it.
I'm not Christian but I've come to believe that belief, spirituality or religion is necessary for the individual or they become dangerous cult members, open to any influence, swayed by whatever wind blows their way so to speak, clinging desperately like rats to any scrap of flotsam that drifts by for safety.
I'm not talking bible thumping but actually nature and the animistic forces within it. Society has pulled so far from the natural world, it's embraced an anti nature belief system with government, "science" and technology as the holy trinity and it's just as fucked if not more so than the religious right.
I used to think that humanity had lost it's ability to find balance, now I doubt it ever possessed the ability in the first place or maybe that this balance was supposed to be on an individual level and then up the chain to society but too many are way out of order at this point to even be able to come close to any equilibrium.
Food for thought.
