>UNITY NOT DIVISION
UNITY 4 LIBERTY & TRUTH
As a big fan of G. Edward Griffin's ideas on Individualism versus Collectivism, I can certainly understand how some liberty minded anons here may feel a little uneasy about how Q's statements promoting UNITY, Patriotism, and Nationalism. After all, all of these terms are "collectivist" in nature because they imply group conformity around a central idea. But let me provide you with some food for thought to see if we can come together for some dialogue on this subject.
Like the age old debate in psychology and biology over the role of Nature (genes) vs Nurture (environment), we know that in the real world, the life of an organism reflects a combination of BOTH forces at work and never only involves just one or the other. And when thinking about wave/particle duality in Physics, when can conceptualize an electron as a discrete "particle", but also as part of a wave function where it can affect the movement of other electrons in an interference pattern.
So my own thinking about collectivism has evolved in recent years to where I now believe that UNITY is actually desirable and necessary so long as groups are allowed to nucleate and extinguish themselves from the level of the individual (bottom up) as opposed to being artificially created and maintained from a centralized authority (top down). Paraphrasing Q, "There is no bigger threat to the [the deep state] than the public being awake and thinking for themselves."
When I read those words from Q, I was reminded of these words from Leo Tolstoy, "…it is that unconquerable force which constitutes real genuine public opinion - that Spirit of Truth while itself advancing that moves all humanity.
The State knows this, and trembles before this force, and strives through its envy in every way it can to counteract or become possessed of it. They know that strength is not in force, but in the action of the mind, and in its clear expression, and, therefore, they are more afraid of the expression of independent thought than of armies; hence they institute censorship, bribe the media, and monopolize the control of religion, science, and education.
But this spiritual force which moves the world eludes them; it is neither in books nor in papers; it cannot be trapped, and is always free; it is in the depths of consciousness of each individual. The most powerful force of freedom which cannot be imprisoned is that which asserts itself in the soul of an individual when s/he is alone, in silence, and then naturally communicates his/her thoughts to a spouse, sibling, or friend; those from whom s/he would regard it as dishonest to conceal the Truth."
So, I would say as long as we have the freedom to think & speak (1st amendment) free in order to have constructive dialogue with one another and the ability to protect ourselves (2nd amendment) from "mobs rule run a muck” then we should not worry so much about coming together UNITED under the banner of Liberty and TRUTH, regardless of our diverse individual differences. After all, is that not preciously what our founders did in order to stand up against the tyranny of the "globalist" British Empire?
