Individualism Has More Value Than Collectivism

Multiple Studies Reveal the Truth that Human Beings Are Naturally Compassionate and Cooperative

The following debate originally took place here, upon the Facebook page, “Living in Modern Times“…

Living in Modern Times:

"10 Things to Use to Make You a Better Human 1. Self Ownership 2. Natural Law 3. The Non-Aggression Principle 4. Consent 5. Using Conscience at All Times 6. All Interactions Must be Voluntary 7. Only Self Authority is Inherent to Humans 8. Truth & Freedom Come Before Family Obligations 9. Positive Rights Are Not Inherent to Humans 10. No Ruling Class, Society, & Collective Can Provide 'Justice,' 'Morality,' or Protection, as These Are Owned, Individually"

“10 Things to Use to Make You a Better Human
1. Self Ownership

Joseph H.: Fine on,paper but won’t work,in reality. You don’t understand the universal nature of evil.

Living in Modern Times: oh? please explain the universal nature of evil, Joseph H.

Jeff R.: You don’t understand the universal nature of good.

Joseph H.: Everyone is sinful and everyone is capable of evil. Radicals always make the same basic, fatal mistake. They want to overturn an established flawed
order and replace it with What they think is a utopia. They don’t see that
they are subject to the same faults as the rulers they replaced. It happened in the French Revolution and in the Russian Revolution. A bloody, sadistic regime replaced a long established monarchy. Power corrupts and unless you have something to balance that, you’ll be corrupt too.

Rayn: Reality does not tend to agree with the highly cynical notion that humanity needs to be ruled over by morally-bankrupt criminal scum. And, the Statists currently denying our natural right to live, to own ourselves, and to peacefully co-exist are simply those who wish to violate them, by way of robbery, slavery and/or murder – either directly, or through violent, coercive proxy (church, state, etc). This is typically done while espousing the usual brand of illogical superstition, replete with “original sin/presumed guilt/pre-crime/chaos” myth about the inherent “evil/cruelty/disorder” of humanity.

Of course, I reject such cult-like nonsense, as it is absolutely illegitimate. Not only have I personally met more kind and caring souls than I can count, I also recognize every human being as a UNIQUE, SOVEREIGN INDIVIDUAL – to be judged ONLY by the merits of their OWN character! As far as I’m concerned, assigning humanity with labels fit for criminals is merely an excuse for the corrupt and polluted souls among us to collectively oppress and punish us all for crimes we haven’t even committed, in an effort to catch a boogie man that lives no further than the nearest MIRROR! Besides, biology, itself, does NOT support the “freedom is slavery” double-think mentality of such control-freaks, no matter how many clever excuses they come up with in order to justify their lust to harm and enslave others:

Yahusha, haMashiach, Taught Humanity to Reject the Fallacy of the Mob Mentality, and Embrace the Reality of Individual Sovereignty

I originally posted the following information and commentary onto my Facebook wall…

The End of Stoning: Jesus and the Personhood Revolution:
https://fee.org/articles/the-end-of-stoning-jesus-and-the-personhood-revolution/

() A problem people have when thinking about the lasting legacy of Jesus is the tendency to either objectify him as a ticket into a spiritual in-crowd status or dismiss him as a religious ascetic wholly incapable of relevancy for politics and world affairs. That’s because they’re Enlightenment rationalists that compartmentalize his life into a religious ideology to possess rather than a performative revolution in how humans can be with each other.

To understand the spiritual revolution Jesus began we must study his life and imitate his model in our daily affairs.

My Commentary: Shabath Shalum! Baruk haba bashem Yahuwah! Halalu Yahusha, haMashiach!

“Speak and so do as those who will be judged by the Law of Liberty.” – Yaaqob 2:12

Reject the fearful, cowardly mob mentality that fuels the cult of human sacrifice! Bravely embrace the personal responsibility and accountability of Individual Sovereignty inherent to a peaceful, free, diverse, and cooperative society!

Communism is Collectivism, and Stands in Stark Contrast to Individuality

Society Is Created By and For the Individual – Not the Other Way Around!

As I scrolled through my Facebook news feed, I discovered the following artwork here, being shared by the page, “Freedom at 5 AM,” and originally posted it to my own wall, along with commentary…

"We must stop thinking of the Individual and start thinking about what is best for society." - Hillary Clinton

“We must stop thinking of the Individual and start thinking about what is best for society.” – Hillary Clinton

My Commentary: Nope. This is purely mythical, completely illogical thinking. Lest we forget: Society is created by and for the Individual; the Individual is not created by and for society.

Society requires the Individual to exist; the Individuals does not require society to exist!

In essence, the Individual is the smallest natural unit of humanity, existing from the very beginning of humankind. And, over time, Individuals have voluntarily chosen to peacefully associate within societal structures solely because of the benefits that such associations yield them. Otherwise, the Individual would not consent to, nor participate in, such arrangements. It is completely fallacious, short-sighted, and backwards “reasoning” to advocate for the needs of society at the expense of the Individual, as society only exists through the consensual efforts of the Individual, and due to the benefits that such cooperation produces!
