I was reading a thread on here this morning about the herd mentatlity, about people not speaking out. I beleive that a lot of this is due to the fact that most pople do not realise just how many other people hold views that tie-in with what they quietly believe.
The media system encourages the idea that people who question the tenents of the world system are a tiny tiny minority. As a result people feel isolated.
This is why I think its so incredibly important to always contribute to forum debates (outside of here) and newspapers site debates. If we all did this much more often and consistently we would soon begin to compete on equal terms with the 'herd' posters and by doing so encourage the quiter ones in the population to speak out too. Thats gotta be a good thing hasnt it?
For example who has posted anywhere today about individualism, in respect of the case concerning the 2 UK schoolgirls suspened for having blonde hair? By supporting these girls publically you will encourage them to standfast, and you'll encourage others to give two fingers up to similar educational tyrants.
Isn't it vitally important for us all to be as vocal as we possibly can, wherever we can? Or are we just all here for some sort of pseudo- interllectual masterbation? Well ?
