It's the system.
We're all slaves to our own existence anyway.
And if you think about it realistically, life is actually a curse with an inevitable end.
I would suggest that the enslaving of the organic computer, is the will of creation, material evolution and the universe.....(GOD principle.....But not to be confused with a floaty about bloke of Middle Eastern origin).

You obviously did.

Jen Psaki....Thinking mans crumpet.
Are you a thinking man?
Or a man at all?......I honestly don't know at this juncture.....But you do have a masculine vibe about you.
Kayleigh McEnany was the drooling mans crumpet.

For most blokes between the ages of approximately 16 and 60, life is a "dick measuring contest".....It's the inevitability of male existence
From there on in, it's fingers crossed that it's going to continue functioning reasonably well as a waste outlet.....This is also the inevitability of male existence.

USA is also one of the few countries that treats suicide the same as gun violence.
With awe then.
Elements of Christian based Muslim type fanaticism
Sort of based upon Clint Eastwood and all those previous movie gunslingers.
Crazy mixed up Country the U.S......Though in fairness, from a fur trapping anarchy to a global super power in 246 years is no mean feat, so credit where it's due.
We must learn tolerate your occasional Orange Clown type glitches and your pseudo sexual fascination with guns.....NATO and the free World and all that.

I agree.
And I was generalising.
Mental health covers all aspects of internal data management and associated problems, or what we might perceive to be problematic irrational behaviour.
And for sure, "normal" is only an assumption relative to an imprecise and variable standard. Well exemplified by the social acceptance of extensive body disfigurement as something of a norm.

I'm not mocking anyone.
I expressed my opinion regarding extensive and permanently disfiguring tattoos. Well exemplified by the images you provided.
And I also question the state of mind of people who decide to do such a thing.
And as I stated, the odd hidden whimsical tattoo, is ok, but still unnecessary.....In my opinion.
And I work in the Pharmacy business, and experience tells me that there is a definite link between extensive tattooing/piercing and mental health issues.

For sure, family is one of those words that lacks precise definition. Though the more detached from the nuclear family one gets, the more the family becomes just a group of individuals. Often only bound by oppression and fear, which do not necessarily guarantee loyalty.
And military organisations and mafia only exist because of lack of consensus in society.
And I'm not sure if right and wrong or agreement are the issues as far as the individual is concerned, I would suggest that it's more a case of survival instinct. Therefore consensus isn't necessary.

I suppose it depends upon how one chooses to define disfigurement.
But hey. ......They're adults, and if they think that they are content with their lot, then that's good enough for me.

When you only have two real choices, you either vote for someone or you don't bother.
And if politics and politicians boils down to nothing more than a media circus, you either switch off or pick your favourite clown.
Unfortunately the moderate majority of Americans is always left without any real choice.
And the nature of existence relative to time and material evolution, dictates that society must progress, irrespective of political persuasion.
And demands of a progressive society have increased the cost of living, so standards of living for the less competitive will inevitably stagnate or decrease....Doesn't matter if you're a hillbilly redcap, or a flag waving LGBTQ etc activist.
So the conservative/liberal dichotomy, is an assumption largely relative to inherited misinformation.

Well, very noble thoughts indeed.
But:
Protect yourself, only requires the consensus of one....So not a consensus really.
Protect your family, depends upon the integrity of the family.
Protect your property.....In the face of extreme adversity, you either fight or flea.

Whoa.....After a period of what one might loosely refer to as relative normality, you've gone off on one again.
So Fuller often regarded as someone who might be one of the greatest thinkers of the 20th century, of course might not be.
Why do you rely largely upon Fuller for your inspiration and ideas?

No Viking blood here.
Interestingly the differentiation between Germanic and Viking is one step across the border, which was who knows where in the tenth century.
Though the homogenisation of all Northern and Western European tribes was well underway by the tenth century
To make any definitive judgements about ones inherency, I would suggest that DNA analysis would be the best course of action.
Especially when taking into considering the migration of people prior to this period, particularly with regard to the Roman Empire.
N.B. I just use the 10th century as a general reference point.

The trouble is Stephen.
For those who wish to perpetuate this bit of recent history, the issue isn't really about slavery.
The issue is a black and white thing.....Commonly referred to as racism....And a two way transaction.
The inevitability of perceivable difference, that will never go away until we have achieved total homogenisation.
But try telling that to the Ruskies and the Chinese.

The mental plane is the physical plane, in so much as all that you have decided to promote now, is a varied outcome of a modified thought processes.
The self is all one system....So the idea that one can transcend the system, is simply the idea that one can transcend the system.
It's just the same old data, but put together differently.
Nonetheless, I'm not convinced of your sincerity anyway.

Nice one Nigel.
Two "White" PC numpties.
And two realistic people of colour.
Hand picked, no doubt.
But for sure, slavery never was, and still isn't, anything new.
But if there is personal gain to be made, people are going to continue milking it for all it's worth.

Enlightenment.
Is a hairy fairy notion of specialness, achieved by going ommmmmmmmm....Together with a group of similarly special people also going ommmmmmmmmmmm.
Usually with a typical wardrobe style.....In a special location suitably adorned with suitable trinkets and whiffy things.
All comes with it's own inherent levels of stress and anxiety though.....
Relative to everyone else, who is not deemed to have achieved an enlightened level of specialness. Easily identified by their wardrobe style and inability to sit in the lotus position for hours and go ommmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.
Lotus position.....Yep Yoga too.

What can be regarded as X is not necessarily X.
Exactly my point.
Just depends upon which side of a line we view things from.
Ascend to the realm of formality and precision.
Fabulously informal and imprecise.
Just depends...............
But are they both authoritarian?
It they deem it so.
True or false, right and wrong.
For sure......Concepts all.

An ambiguity of contradictions.
The term Oligarch is one that is typically applied to wealthy Russian business-people with political influence.
A term that can be applied anywhere though.....Think of some wealthy American business-people with political influence who you might actually respect.
Progressive is a very loose term, meaning social reform.
Though reforming What to what?
An Oligarch will more than likely always be progressive....Even if we don't agree with their notion of progressive reform.
Communism is a philosophical daydream.....Which in practice, stops the moment it starts.
And if one analyses it, conservative might or might not be regressive, depending upon context.

What humanity needs is population control.
Trouble is though, as we see things all too well at the moment, humanitarian integrity is not a species phenomenon.
So for now, we still need to breed armies.

Anti-authority might mean pro-anarchy.
Or might not.

@ADreamOfLiberty
Trouble is.
Your argument has found the need to descend into the realm of semantics.
So like it or not "anti" just means opposed to or against, which in terms of definition has little or no prerequisites.
A. can oppose B......And B. can oppose A.
And both can deem the other to be authoritarian....Which simply depends upon who finds what authoritarian.
The legal enforcement of liberal values, is no different to the legal enforcement of conservative values....Both can be regarded as oppressive.
The obvious difference though, might be found in the methodology of oppression, rather than in the dictionary.
I would suggest that your view of authoritarianism, is gained from a biased viewpoint.
Which of course, is only to be expected.....And not a criticism.

If you look back at some of my older stuff you will see that I am into re-occurence, or re-initation, as I refer to it.
That is to say, the re-initiation of an eternal process.....Of which, organic intelligence is an essential part.
Still leaves one huge unanswerable question though.

That's quite a bold claim for you.

So when the Sun eventually engulfs the Earth, do you think that we will have sufficiently removed to safety?
Or will we still be tethered to this spec of cosmic dust by our interminable stupidity and squabbling?

Hey, any label will do Doc.
But the Catholic label is a tarnished label, and will be so for along time to come.
Especially if it persists in the suppression of human sexuality.
Sex will always out in some way or another.
And sadly for the Catholic Church it still has a tendency to out in an inappropriate direction.
So no way can you rest upon Catholic laurels Doc.

So check out the World and show me a Nation that is not ordered by authority.
So we basically have democratic authority and order, or tyrannical authority and order.
And occasionally some Nations descend into a sort of chaotically ordered multi-authority. Somalia for example.
So in whosoever's head exists a notion of righteousness, also exists a notion of authoritarian superiority.
And coal has always been a dismisser of posts that they (avoid) deem unworthy of their time....Such is their own internal sense of superior righteousness and authority.

Witches were either old women who lived alone or the stuff of tall tales.
And others used to make up tall tales about old women that lived alone.
And people who call themselves witches these days, also have a vivid imagination.

Anti-authoritarian is authoritarian.

The Rhythm of life. By Zedvictor4.
The dream belies the reality, yada yada.
And so see the two witches clad in befitting rags.
She the tightly clad Raven one,
And two the benign woman there traipse the mall of life.
Underlain the mind headed brutal reality of day to day,
And night to night emptiness, vampire emptiness,
Save the temporary blandishments of temporary ecstasy.
Till temporal exhaustion finally.
Rolls over into the neverland of nightmares, dreams nightmares all.
Such that the underlying ceaseless remorseless processes,
Ceaseless and remorseless destroyers of peace become.
And tomorrow is another day.
