    People in general seem to have a hard time grasping the notion of just how much power we all have collectively. It is why so much time and marketing goes into promoting the idea of “the individual” being the most important thing in my opinion. The more people only consider themselves the less power they have to get what they want and need.

      Divide and conquer. I think that is the real reason the US has supported independence movements that break up countries so much. It is much easier to control 1 chunk out of 5 than all 5 together.
