@VeganMGTOW @shortstories The pillar of civilization has, for the longest time, been the ability of the elites to collectivize the individual into obedient drones.
Many rulers often tested their power by ordering individuals to commit suicide on their command. Whether it was building the pyramids, burning witches, attending church or fighting wars, the key was to erase the individual using many different tools, like music to create a hive mind. You can even see it in the crowds at sport events.
