[Relax] "Shepherds of the Flock" (group-think, busy-bodies, and personal autonomy)
Author Summary

Today's "rant" is about group think. Having observed the rise of group-think 'sheep', or perhaps having become more keenly aware, I have also observed the rise of busy-bodies 'shepherds' intent on controlling "The AnCap Position."

Perhaps there will never be 'Anarchy' because there are far too many persons with absolutely no purpose in life, who in the pursuit of feeling better about themselves, make it their life goal to stick their nose in everyone else's business. These busy-bodies only goal in life is to control how others behave, think, or act.

For those who seek personal autonomy (i.e. individualists) and to do something productive, we're stuck in a hard place. 'Fighting' these shepherds directly means wasting your life to the extent that the shepherd is content wasting their own life.

P.S. Perhaps in another post or in the comments, I'll delve into some of the common tactics and behaviors of these shepherds within the AnCap community.
