The myth of " Independence " in society...

@DarkOptimism The myth of self " Independence "

Really like this post saw:

open.substack.com/pub/brettsco

Some excerpts and picture remix of the #myth as I see it to make you think about more real "independence"...: not just #employment / #military style economics as " #job " / economic hitmen.

#1 Economy is not voluntary
" ...the #economy is seen as a big collection of individuals who voluntarily choose to trade stuff. "

#2 Not really connected
"As you walk through city streets past strangers who ignore you, or drift through shops looking at ten different brands of shampoo, there’s a general feeling of detachment."

#Independence doesn't exist. It's not a #selfsufficient island or even voluntary for #emotional / #physical needs which should be the focus (not making #money / manufacturing #manipulation / increasing prices instead of decreasing / #sharing it all / connecting #people more on #emotional level for #healthy #society).

EMPLOYED:
not really social
or independent

depressed
over-worked..
workaholic-ism

not really #healthy
individual or society

#primitive, #material #system

as housing etc prices go up

UNEMPLOYED (just more detached)

( same as above but sometimes happier / less dragged into #unhealthy system(s) )

I've also felt more animate these past two days, considering the possibility that God will lose support. Of course, this man's destruction is too blatant.

I also see that even though we have a respite, we are forced to move forward.

The former US Ambassador #Gifford to #Denmark discusses here how good an #ally Denmark was to the #USA

"I would go to the Prime Minister, the Foreign Minister, the Minister of Defense and ask on behalf of the USA to send their Danish young men and women:

- To go to Iraq to fight ISIS (and die)
- To help go and remove chemical weapons from Syria
- To go fight Ebola in Africa

AND EVERY SINGLE TIME, DENMARK SAID YES, AND THEY SAID YES WITHOUT HESITATION."
