Harry > We are so screwed. And by we I mean the world.

I'm sure what you say is true but nevertheless one must try not to be depressed or demotivated in one's search for truth and liberty and one's attempt to live one's life according to those principles. At the same time one shouldn't do stupid things like organizing against the state or belonging to such organizations -- for the simple reason that most of those organizations are set up by the state and are full of agents provocateurs.

I can tell you that during my life I was never politically motivated, even now, and at various times I was pulled to the right and the left by friends who had those affiliations. I did not participate because, since I was a teenager, I have believed politics is a trap for the unwary to inveigle them into futile conflict. Likewise, religion.

Of course, all this makes the path narrower and more obscure but it is there nonetheless. One must must just believe in it.
