[QUOTE="zubenelgenubi, post: 4233089, member: 63706"] I remember talking to another "conservative" about my views that the patriot act was a huge infringement on our rights, and needed to be thrown out as unconstitutional. He just looked at me like I had two heads. That's when I started to realize conservatives could also be statists. Collectivism and group identity has been the norm for most of human history. Most people have never seen themselves as individuals, but merely as part of a group. The constitution of the United States was structured under the guiding philosophy of individualism. We have proven that individualism is the proper state of humanity, and that collectivism is merely a pathology that must be overcome in order for us to reach our true potential. But "leaders" (more correctly called usurpers of individual sovereignty) know it is easier to control groups of people rather than individuals. That is how propaganda works, and why people buy into consumerism and political parties. [/QUOTE]
