I personally do not believe there is a "norm". Moderation is the key.IMO I myself, do not see things as black or white. As far as who decides...WE DECIDE! Our human nature allows compromise as well as competition.
Extremism begins to threaten when several extreme groups become one.
That is what has happened.
Bland and brainwashed lifestyle, you say? Don't most religions try to define social norms? It is the Religious and Political Extremists who have teamed up with the big Corporations and are imposing their brand of social "norms" on the rest of the world. Eventually they will destroy each other.(they always do) Our fight--or MY fight is to speed up that process. |
Unless your a person with alot of influence your not really going to make a hell of a lot of difference as to what happens between major powers, widely supported religons or corperations and their effect on the social strata you and me live in, they can squash us like an ant.
How many numbers are what is most important, unfortunately this would never work for pacifists, as it would take only one agro guy with an AK to wipe them all out.
People who want to create chaos in society such as lie in's in a public place, chucking marbles under police horses or attacking politicians with cream pies are pretty much misguided and bored people.
