: SDF: No, the point is that the dominant Euro white property-owning male has continued to be the model for "individuality" even though such individualities, such people, have had to recognize the real individualities of, for instance, the 1/6 of planetary human population that starves to death, or the victims of American imperialism as it crushed those in the world who espoused alternative ways of conceptualizing individuality, or the 500,000 non-Whites who died in Rwanda (with the help of the West) over the past few years... the point is that the stupidity about individuality has persisted not only among those who own and rule, but their ideological dupes as well.

If we live under such a giant conspiracy, why do they all
seem in such disarray? Why does all this abundant leadership,
ostensibly controlled by these conspriracy organizers,
run around like chickens with their heads cut off?

"The future is disorder. A door like this has cracked open
five or six times since we got up on our hind legs. It
is the best possible time to be alive, when almost everything
you thought you knew is wrong."
Tom Stoppard, _Arcadia_
[Opening quote page in the book _The Sovereign Individual_
by James Dale Davidson and William Rees-Mogg, 1997. ]. . .

I suspect most will be blind-sided by the effects already
evident.
