I believe at this moment in time we have the means and opportunity to throw off the shackles of ideological labels for the measure of oppression we are willing to abide, and overcome the willfully ignorant surrender of our sovereignty and accountability for our own fate to the theater of idealized people, systems and emotional, philosophical, and psychological constructs which are figments of our collective propagation.
We need to come to the realization that the only power ruling over us, is given by us through our participation in the centralized system we have convinced ourselves is reality.
Instead of figuring it out for ourselves and making decisions based in truth, we have given in to being programmed in every aspect of our decision making and "internalizing the lies" being fed to us from ALL 'sides', choosing a label for ourselves we think fits according to our circumstances and environment.
Why is Trump to blame?
How does one man garner so much power?
Are we to believe that this one man is truly controlling reality?
And all by himself!
So much wasted effort, energy and emotion.
On all sides.
How does his level of intellect truly influence the next breath you will take, or our intrinsic value as human beings?
Would it be different if Hillary was president? How?
Is she the one who would save us? Or Bernie? Maybe Joe?
Well son of a b. . . .!
Or the UN?
Really?!
The only thing that can 'save' us from all of the madness is true individual freedom.
And No ideological paradigm ever enforced or elected can give that to us, it must be earned.
Through our collective efforts as individuals, through creativity and desire.
The way every ounce of freedom we think we enjoy today was ever earned throughout all of history.
By the individuals who want it, and are willing to work and sacrifice to make it a reality for the sake of freedom itself understanding that none will be truly free unless all are truly free.
I believe at this moment in time we have the means and opportunity in the promise and potential of decentralized blockchain technology.
A merging of the collective will of individuals with the ability to have full control of their personal value with no need for third party verification.
Think for a moment about every issue that affects the varying levels of oppression in society.
Now think how that could change if every individual had the ability to have full ownership of their true personal value.
I look at it from the standpoint of the societal implications.
If we regain our ability to trust there will be no need for their labels.
If we regain our value, our true value, not the place assigned to us in the machine.
We can regain our freedom
Let's spend our time, energy, creativity, and effort on something that eliminates the ability to oppress, not waste it arguing over the kind of oppression we are willing to work with.
Stay safe, All the Best!
Hive is Alive!

Individuality fused with shared values. In other words, there is value and especially MUCH NEEDED NECESSITY in families, local neighborhoods, in friends, in small groups, in the union and networking of a household, a city, state, and even an entire nation. Individuality is very good and yet isolation can become vulnerability. People are stronger together. When I say together, I don't mean forced and required to be together as slaves under excessive amounts of authoritarianism. So, we need a good balance of being individuals who come together to defend shared values. That is the American Dream. Historically, Americans would help each other out. Neighbors would help each other out more so than other countries would. That is hugely and historically unique and special and TRULY SOUGHT AFTER.
Thanks for this elaborate response my friend; I appreciate that :-) However, it seems you think we humans have any other way of understanding the world, and communicating our understanding of that world through other means than using labels; I'm curious to know what that is. Also you seem to think, correct me if I'm wrong, that decentralization is the magic key to transform into a bottom-up organized society, and that money is real; I disagree with both those assumptions. I do agree that Trump or "the right" are not the sole instigators of our problems; there's not so much difference there, the real divide is the class divide, the one that's rooted in our material circumstances, which are real.
