“The permanent misfits are those who because of a lack of talent or some irreparable defect in body or mind cannot do the one thing for which their whole being craves. No achievement, however spectacular, in other fields can give them a sense of fulfillment. Whatever they undertake
becomes a passionate pursuit; but they never arrive, never pause. They demonstrate the fact that we can never have enough of that which we really do not want, and that we run fastest and farthest when we run from ourselves.
The permanent misfits can find salvation only in a complete separation from the self; and they usually find it by losing themselves in the compact collectivity of a mass movement. By renouncing individual will, judgment and ambition, and dedicating all their powers to the service of an eternal cause, they are at last lifted off the endless treadmill which can never lead them to fulfillment.
The most incurably frustrated—and, therefore, the most vehement–among the permanent misfits are those with an unfulfilled craving for creative work.” Eric Hoffer The True Believer

There is no such thing as mind control. Only people who surrender their destiny to an ideology, a collective, and thus to external control because they do not believe in themselves.

As for the founding documents of the American Republic being about individual power–that is completely absurd. People come together, forming groups, movements, associations, institutions, religions, and so forth because the individual is power-less to accomplish their desire unless aided by the aggregate. The result is the construction of hierarchies to focus the aggregate power. This combining of individuals into a monolithic block is the foundation of majority rule, and the beginning of tyranny.

Several authors (Hoffer, Arendt, de Jouvenal, Canetti, Rand) have written at length on the fact that Revolutions are engaged in because of the weakness of the existing ruling system, under the guise of increasing individual liberty and autonomy. But the result is always worse than before. This is as true for the American Republic as it is for the French Republic, the Russian Republics, and every other government formed under such pretenses. The D of I is a farce because people are NOT born equal. The intent of English governing documents (America’s supposed heritage) was the establishment of equality under the law, not to equalize the differences inherent in Man. I can imagine that when King George read it, he ROFL’d because the document is internally inconsistent and conceptually meaningless.

I had a conversation with a guy who received a masters degree from Harvard University. He was going on about that the individual does not exist and Michael Foucault would be able to answer my questions. I took his phone from his shirt pocket and said: “If you don’t exist, this is mine now because I do.” He was stunned. I told him that if he existed, then I would return the phone to him. After about five minutes of squirming and trying to change the subject, he said that he existed. So I returned the phone to him.

I see your point but Trump alone will not save a nation that willfully abandons its moral foundations.

What they are teaching is communism. This is why they planned their NWO.
But, one man came along (Trump) and he is seriously screwing their planto the point of no return.
No wonder they hate him so much.

Jon, would it be safe to say people are joining the collective because we have tossed aside fundamental morals? If one lacks the ability to decipher between right and wrong, it would be easy justify joining “the group”. a gang or even the Matrix. We now live in a society that sees what was once right as wrong and wrong as right. Look at the article posted on the Sheeple about the rising incidence of child sex trafficking…that alone is an alarming example of where this society is going… right into the shitter. We have forsaken morals for moral relativity…the “whats good for me is good for me” generation is here. Its Sodom and Gomorrah. Its the end.

Come soon Lord. Please come soon.
