Interesting discussion. Please don't consider me rude to jump in.

Your concern about rules is a very valid point. Without rules anarchy would certainly exist. Which seems to me to be the exact point that Frederick is making. Consider the Constiution, and the Bill of Rights, to be the existing rules and and the movement to anarchy is not being undertaken by the Fredericks of the world but by the government bending and adding new societal rules not in keeping with the existing Constitutional rules. Its the same as starting a basketball game but halfway thru one of the teams decides to raise the baskets and make the court wider because they have all the tall players. The shorter team would be unhappy and may even argue the rule change is not fair.

Your concern about isolation is also right on point. Because the government keeps changing the existing rules people are getting more and more isolated. Historically thats been known as class warfare and unfortunately our government has become expert at class warfare.

Its the loss of individaul freedoms, and liberty, that is the problem and never in history has a collective or government solution tied to limiting the existing freemdoms of its citizens been successful. In fact the failure rate is 100%.

I don't read into Fredericks prose movement towards individualizing the cultural. Just the opposite.
