What? Maybe where you live that is the case, but I personally was BORN into the society.

Yeah, tell me about why you chose to be born. Oh right, you didn't, nor did you choose where, from what parents, your sex, your genetics, your looks, your talents, or anything.

If by your standard, being yourself is breaking the rules then you are causing more damage to others then they are causing to you (since you are one an they are many). I have no trouble living without causing discomfort to others.

I don't cause discomfort for others. But humans are extremely petty authoritarians and have zero tolerance for any difference at all. They will attack me for not being identical to them. Even if I literally can't help it. And when I can, I'm forced to be someone I'm not.

The way I see it, a prosperous harmonious society is the key to improving people's lives.

Or it's really the key to max procreation and your instincts' agenda. A dystopian totalitarian society which is basically a prison only benefits those who run it. It may benefit "the collective" but that is an imaginary concept; it doesn't exist. A collective is merely the sum of its individuals, thus the individual is what matters. Our instincts give us a mythical idea of the collective but they are LYING to us. Nature's agenda is procreation, it doesn't care about you or how much suffering happens and lives are devastated in the process.

"Yeah, tell me about why you chose to be born. Oh right, you didn't, nor did you choose where, from what parents, your sex, your genetics, your looks, your talents, or anything." Well, If you don't like being born than go hang yourself (don't! I am not promoting suicide, just making a point). If you were born and raised in a society then you should have automatically picked up on its traditions and norms. Respect them.

"They will attack me for not being identical to them" Unless you really stand out in a way that is unacceptable nobody cares. What is it you are doing that makes everyone so angry (a genuine non-rhetorical question, you got me intrigued)? If you are not causing anyone discomfort then nobody should attack you.

" A collective is merely the sum of its individuals, thus the individual is what matters." I don't get that leap of logic. The collective is indeed the some of its individuals. It is the mean opinion of all its members on all matters important to them. Unless you have a very divided, unhealthy society, the majority of people should share the majority of values. The minority conforms to that collective majority.

Obviously, those few who really stand out in a way that the majority sees as unacceptable, would not like this arrangement. But they are just that. The few; the minority. Seven don't wait for one. If the majority finds it offensive for men to dress like women, then nobody should dress like a women.

"Should" is a very judgemental term. Not everyone is able or willing.

[–]IamCleaver[S] 1 insightful - 2 fun1 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 2 fun -  (18 children)

"judgemental" So?

"Not everyone is able" Most are.

"or willing" if you aren't "willing" than it is YOUR problem, not mine.

I repeat my question: "What is it you are doing that makes everyone so angry"

[–]JasonCarswellVoluntaryist 3 insightful - 3 fun3 insightful - 2 fun4 insightful - 3 fun -  (17 children)

"Not everyone is able" Most are.

So fuck all non-conformists? Fuck that. And fuck conformity. Go back to Reddit and conform.

"What is it you are doing that makes everyone so angry"

Being free from conformity.

[–]IamCleaver[S] 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (16 children)

fuck all non-conformists

Yes, fuck them. They are the ones who are deharmonising the society. Particularly if they are doing it on-purpose

"Being free from conformity." In which case those people are rightfully angry.

[–]JasonCarswellVoluntaryist 3 insightful - 2 fun3 insightful - 1 fun4 insightful - 2 fun -  (11 children)

Fuck all intolerance
with exceptions for harming others through VOSTDaM.

Violence, Oppression, Suppression, Theft, Deception, and Manipulation

Live and let live via Natural Law.

[–]IamCleaver[S] 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (10 children)

Natural Law

That would entitle me to form a tribe and try to take you out. THAT is out natural state. Do you want that?

"Fuck all intolerance" Tolerance is weakness.

You already have that.

It's not weakness, it's courtesy. You sound exactly like the emperor from Star Wars: "Let the hate flow through you. The dark side makes you powerful".

[–]IamCleaver[S] 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (7 children)

The emperor of star wars is a caricature of what liberal-democrats see as evil. I see liberal democracy themselves as the ultimate evil.

[–]JasonCarswellVoluntaryist 2 insightful - 3 fun2 insightful - 2 fun3 insightful - 3 fun -  (3 children)

Not all of them.

Only some are deceptive and manipulative and "deharmonising the society".

On purpose or not, it needs to be exposed, and people need to be educated about it and to dealt with it.

Blanketing everyone who doesn't fit your, or anyone's, bullshit definition of what is "normal" is tyranny, without understanding that there are infiltrators, false flags, and other ways they can manipulate you into being their tools of oppression.

Don't be a stupid tool, be smart and selective.

"nfiltrators, false flags, and other ways they can manipulate you into being their tools of oppression." What?

Learn some history.
