Big Government & their supporters' hatred for the Individual

[Doubletap]

In 1896 the famous John Dewey, then at the University of Chicago, said that independent, self-reliant people were a counter-productive anachronism in the collective society of the future. In modern society, said Dewey, people would be defined by their associations - the groups they belonged to - not by their own individual accomplishments. In such a world people who read too well or too early are dangerous because they become privately empowered, they know too much, and know how to find out what they don't know by themselves, without consulting experts.

Today, this anti-life, anti-individual philosophy is still being advocated by big government & their supporters.

A close look at your copy paste job finds that the quote is from a book by some guy that quotes another guy quoting Dewey.

What does this actually mean? Do you think there is some lack of independent people in America?

The anti-entrepreneur attitude, especially w/gov is alive and well today.

Occupied's avatar says all you need to know about him. If that isn't the essence of the herd mentality, I've never seen it.
