I used to be allowed to take a rowboat out by myself at 10. What a bunch of pussies we are becoming.
Independence of any level is discouraged in the surveillance society we've built.
Yeah. The problem isn't that everybody is turning into wimps.
The problem is that a critical mass of people are turning into paranoid busybody boot licking narcs.
To be fair, people have been people all throughout history - as a collective we're ready to play whatever game society is currently offering, and we usually have enough people to fill all roles.
Yeah. I fucking hate it. I have serious issues with authority and it seems like there’s more and more restrictions every fucking day.
Yep I'm this way and have recently come to realize that at my core I just don't actually believe any other human has the right to tell me what to do. Full stop. Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying I should be allowed to do whatever I want, I understand my responsibilities, to my loved ones and society, better than most honestly. I just really can't tolerate being told what to do.
And oddly it makes me a productive employee, a thoughtful partner, a good friend...largely to avoid scenarios where someone feels like they need to tell me what's up.
But yeah, all the time society feels more and more like a constricting, stifling set of agreements...which I never actually agreed to.
