--- Quote from: "Paul St. John" ---Bro, you are fucking crazy.. I mean... ... they want it. They train for it, and give everything they got to get their positions. But you are right about one thing. They do not get it for nothing. They work very, very, hard, and compete for these positions.

Yeah, you're practically making my point for me.
--- Quote from: "Paul St. John" ---Like I said, start learning some stuff. You have replaced thoughts with propaganda. You mentioned being a saint in a city. Something tells me, you do not spend much time in cities..

Paul, I grew up in the cities. I was raised in the Bay area and San Diego and Philadelphia. I grew up around all kinds of people. These days I live in a small post-industrial town in Western PA. I'm in the process of converting my house into a fully functioning urban homestead, but right now I still have quite a ways to go in that direction.

--- Quote from: "starry-eyed pirate" ---In $tr8 and other programs the process of the brainwash begins with the destruction of the individual's social coping skills and an assault on the ego. This is only the first part of the process. Once your natural ego is attrophied sufficiently a new program ego is grafted on to the ol root, just like an apple tree, and you are systematically attached to the values and ideas of the program. People end up surrendering their integrity and sense of justice because they don't recognize their own ego for what it is. They identify themselves with it, instead of with the transcendent and so are easily manipulated and controlled by appeals to the ego. That's how people are manipulated and exploited and made the tools of injustice every day all over the world.

This sort of economic arrangement would go a long way toward easing class/racial tensions by making the society more egalitarian in general and would at the same time also do a great deal to heal the fractured state of the modern family by placing value on working together as a family unit on the homestead.
