People are in fact more alike than ever... they buy the very same clothes, shoes, furniture, cars, burgers 'n' fries, read the same books, watch the same movies, and listen to the same music. They all belong to the same group with very little variation... and yet they all claim to be special and unique individuals. In the good ol' days you went to the tailor to have your clothes made, the cobbler fixed your shoes, you bought your furnitures from a furniture maker, you grew and cultivated your own food and being educated meant to be well read... not just trained like a dog.

I've found people my age (20s) search for groups and identities because, they're unhappy with what they have accomplished themselves. They seek a community that gives them all the answers they find satisfactory about why they're the TRUE victims and who is REALLY responsible. In this modern age if you're brave enough to reveal your identity AND successful in playing the victim enough, you can potentially earn a loyal following who have no problems harassing the "other" as you ascend in the ranks of professional victimhood. But there are superior groups i've found, that don't rely on consuming but creating. They ignore daily news and daily misfortunes of life because, their art provides people with a means of escape and maybe, see things differently. While these victim groups continue to blame all the worlds problems on each other, these superior people push the boundaries of what is art until it's unrecognizable to average person's sensibilities.

Really nice insights, Silverback... Enjoyed the warm/conversational style of this one. It is true, that most seek smaller groups, and then convince themselves (by dint of the contraction), that it is equivalent to 'individuality'. But it is not... I would contend, that the more original or refreshing the 'perspective' (and not just because one is contrarian) particularly on a well-worn topic, then the more one approaches 'individuality'.

I really, really loved this video. It's very refreshing to get away from what you termed the drawing of some sorts of lines and borders over who is/isn't a certain subset (mgtow, sjw, etc etc) and into some of the nitty gritty of what's really going on. And I wholeheartedly agree in general on most if not all of the divides being artificial, ideological, ones that don't have much substance to delineate them from everything else aside from cultural identity and/or appropriation to said identity. That said, I do listen to and heartily enjoy Sargon's content, not because I'm a militant MGTOW for life but simply because Social Justice is a cancer on society right now and has been for some time. Divides aside, I still stand by that statement. All that said, I think it goes even deeper, not only is there less individuation than ever, not more, but the root causes are still around causing upheavals and aftershocks. You have the artificial transplanting beyond what metropolitan city life already did to people in terms of community and social aspects to the Prussian school system based on Prussian military training, as described by John Taylor Gatto, which leads to the splitting of kids and families most of the time most days of any given year for practically their entire early lives, unless home-schooled. You have the ever-increasing divide between haves and have-nots over the distribution of assets, even though it's all based on fiat currency anyhow, and the endless strife/petty conflicts that creates while we all fight for whatever crumbs are left. You have the state or country as the ever-present "true parent" in almost every given aspect of society, whereas there's no real sense of community, honor or integrity left especially among blood families, and so any real or perceived fuck up is grounds for the withholding of any and everything. You've had the divides also between say, husband and wife in a given family for a long time, as women's politics and social identity metamorphosed into something involving the omnipresent and impossible standard of physical beauty and societally acceptable/enticing behavior plus the feminist ideal of men being the enemy, meanwhile this was used, on top of halving the real, soluble income of fathers while they were still forced to work most of the time, to also include mothers in this workforce and then pit the whole family against each other in a race of who's the most important. And so on and so forth for almost any given real cultural movement. Look at Punk Rock or Heavy Metal when it still had something, anything real to say. That's not to say it doesn't at all now, or that it's died out entirely, but it's very stagnated and all but dead as a real cultural influence. Or look at communities like the Black Panthers which were infiltrated then destroyed. With all that, is it any surprise that everyone has this mass media communication but no real life grounding in almost anything, they would then choose to find some kind of community or pillar to stand on? Most of those in jail come from fatherless households, according to recent studies. Also, due to how much modern technology has become an absolute necessity rather than a convenience, autism like behavior blindness and nonverbal cue misreading is becoming an epidemic among young children. At the beginning of the 20th century, most families stayed in the same one or two houses in an area, the children learned trades from the father and mother, and the grandparents often stayed in the house as well. Then it progressed to where almost all of those skills and the lifestyles based around them became obsolete, which was a huge social change, now that happens every other day almost. Therefore, most tend to think the only way to have any commonality at all is to latch onto some sort of social niche while they still have the chance, as though there's a premium on membership. Social media being a prime example of how noxious this trend really is in action. My 2 cents.

I cannot identify with groups, but I can identify with individuals. Even mgtow isn't a group I would claim to identify with because I appreciate that most men who call themselves this will be very different in many ways. If I'm honest being mgtow was both a choice and not a choice for me. When I began to understand the role human nature plays in a lot of our problems then it all started to fit together for me. But on the same token it just wasn't a choice at all. I admit to being a loner and I find relationships very stressful so in many ways I feel I'm here because I have no other choice. I will always take the path of least resistance. And as for need to belong to a group I sometimes wish I could belong to one, that I found building relationships easier, but then I remind myself of the peace and content I obtain from just being somewhere quiet without hassle. My life is certainly too far on to correct and yes I am accepting a lot of my mistakes, failures and wrong doings. Acceptance when it's real is also quite freeing.

I remember always hanging out with a group of outcasts in high school. Mostly goths/alternative types, some were awkward geeks and others just didn't fit in with their classmates in any capacity. The only thing they had in common was that they were outcasts and that was that, that was enough reason for them to form a group. Now people eagerly slap labels all over themselves trying hard to set themselves apart, just look at the whole LGBTQAXYZ++ and god knows what situation in school and colleges. Desperate to set themselves apart, be it for recognition or social points, always dividing and segregating. Not sure if it's directly related to this topic but I thought it was an interesting change in recent times.

I suppose a mind change is in order once again. Off topic, I'm not sure if you've payed much attention lately, but there's a bit of a kerfuffle brewing with KZitem. I guess they're plotting some scheme to limit certain videos that involve politics or social commentary or anything of the sort to a very worrying level. Things like removing the entire comment section, the like/dislike ratio, recommended videos, etc. Might be worth checking out. Mister Metokur and Styxhexenhammer666 did a video explaining it yesterday. Not sure what will happen, but perhaps now would be a good time to start looking at other video outlets just to have the option, worst case scenario.

Ah, but philosophical individuation, not the creation of an individual _person_ but an individual _thing_, is a particular process that, when reversed in people, manifests every characteristic we see in so-called social justice warriors. It also forms the 'centrism' in gynocentrism i.e. the ideological characteristics of those with innate sex bias. It's not responsible for the origin, the motivation, no. But it's responsible for its expression. This method is actually catalogued in Surreal Number Theory, if you've any interest in investigating my claims here.

@daveo990

+Stoned Meadow Of Doom I agree with you to some extent. However, tattoos being considered "hipster", or one of them related to the other, is somewhat incorrect. For example; just because I start purchasing and wearing cheap hats made by cheap manufacturers, doesn't mean that someone that produces authentic and high quality hats should be put into the same category. Tattoos as an artform, has existed for ages, but has certainly become more popular in recent years because nowadays there are more studios and artists available (alot of them very unserious by the way) that are lacking in skill severely... These factors leads on to what I write below; Most people don't focus on, or understand, the fact that if you ever desire to get a tattoo - it should (MUST) mean something to you! This is very important because it insures integrity of both the art and the wearer. Tattoos on women is a whole other topic itself and I agree with you that it is generally not a good idea for a woman to get tattooed at all. This is basically because it signals masculinity and aggression. (which are male traits). Alot of people, especially women, but also more and more men, get tattoos for the wrong reasons, in other words "decorative" - which of course could still look good if the tattoos were created by a skilled tattoo artist. But then again, there are alot of unserious artists on the market that view their job as only business and doesn't care about the integrity of the art, the piece, nor the wearer. These artists brings the whole art of tattooing down unfortunately - which could explain the criticism of it all. I think alot of people don't research enough about the artists the they hire which is a big problem.

While I agree with the analysis that most people belong to groups, being quirky isn't all that and the Internet made this possible I don't necessarily agree with your conclusions as I perceive them. You make it sound that these micro niches are a bad thing. Correct me if I'm wrong there. Perhaps you're simply criticizing people that think that they are such a special individual that they don't belong to a group as if that's something to be praised and proud of, at least from their perspective. First of all I would say pretty much nobody participates in only one group, especially on the Internet. It certainly wouldn't be as fun or enjoyable otherwise. Imagine it it was just cat videos and images. If you're saying you really hate it that people in groups will often homogenize, at least in their opinions and way of thinking, in such a way that any deviation from the party line will either get you harsh criticism or even ostracized then I certainly agree that that is not a good thing. If I remained in an echo chamber I certainly wouldn't be where I am today. Being part of a group doesn't mean you have to conform to all the group standards in most situations or at least perceived standards. Now say if you participated in a gaming group it certainly would mean you have to play games or what's that point of being in the group in the first place? Shutting up and not speaking your mind in a group setting while this is enforced by the group then that's certainly when things become a real problem and conforming to your own detriment becomes possible. The real danger comes in when someone in your group makes a mistake and isn’t held accountable for it. Now of course there’s the opposite where someone is accused of something, such as rape, and everyone abandons them even if they didn’t do anything wrong. If people abandon you over something that’s not true that’s certainly an issue. I could go on but I think I've said enough for now.

The causality is probably that there exist convincing/enthusiastic people, and groups form around them. With MGTOW as an example, its true the leaders have changed, but so has the group, in a kind of leap-frog style. Splits and emerging factions is a thing. I am still instinctively defending MGTOW, but honestly its very difficult to do that without using a phrase like "in the original concept" or similar, and I guess many feel similar, so perhaps we are a faction now, and a small one at that.

I do not care about "being part of a group" and also dislike the idea of going against the mainstream and being quirky just for the sake of it. The only genuine problem is people being overly attached to said groups, developing tribal identities and hostility towars outsiders. I pursue what I like no matter how popular or unpopular it is and maybe join a group just to further my insight of my hobby. In the past with the absence of internet it was very hard for people with very niche interests to connect with each other while now it is possible. Thus in the past a person may seem "quirky" to you but now that every group is easily reachable it loses the illusion of quirkiness for you? If I could I wouldn't revert back to the 90s because there is nothing better than sharing your passion of something with other equally passionate people and at that time it was much harder to do than nowadays.

Sargon is (or plausibly claims to be) an individualist. If he also claims that individuality in the sense of Independence of mind is something that's on the rise nowadays, I haven't heard it. In fact I don't know anyone who makes this claim. The counter evidence, I agree, makes such a view hard to justify. Individualism is not individuality, so this is probably OT, but it's worth pointing out (as you almost did) that equating individualism with selfishness is not only fallacious, but is a deliberate, very tired rhetorical ploy on the part of people pushing a collectivist agenda or big govt-friendly social conformity. ("Those selfish individualist neoliberals are at it again" - the Guardian, passim.) I don't know what "past" you are using for your contrast, but since we're making sweeping generalisations (and assuming we are all allowed to play) I would say that the extended adolescence of slavish peer-group conformity that we observe on social media may be a knock-on consequence of the decline in religious belief. It's easier to resist the pressure to conform socially if you have an Imaginary Friend to turn to in your worst moments of ostracism. It takes a very strong mind to resist for long without either, and we don't have an educational system (if we ever did) that's apt to produce strong minds. And squires do not sleep on their shields any more. Not to mention the Net (since you did).

Except look at how they got their societies ass kicked, all those empires crushed their anarchy. Even though it was fun for a minute. Individuation can lead to something not fun like that.

WELL, HAVING MORE AND MORE GROUPS WITH A WIDE VARIETY OF VIEWS (ON LIFE, POLITICS ETC) COULD BE GOOD BECAUSE YOU CAN FIND PEOPLE WHO HAVE SOMETHING IN COMMON WITH YOU; AND PEOPLE HAVE A NEED TO BELONG TO SOMETHING

If nothing else, the Internet has increased and expedited people to sort into groups they'd have otherwise belonged to, if they'd had had the option in the past.

During the mid 80's i got a little involved with mail art. I posted off a few xeroxed posters to eastern europe which got stuck up in apartment shows. My point is that without an internet, with very little to go on, ideas spread and cant be stopped whilst the conditions exist that caused those ideas in the first place. Every victory against free speech brings free speech closer to victory. Humans can communicate on a vast scale with almost nothing to aid them. The cats outta the bag and it wont be put back!

The individual is essentially just a group of one.

Come on, man! We're all individuals here. Everyone is just making friends! Seriously though, group identity only becomes a bigger factor in society as time goes on. Even contemporary art demonstrates this with countless different scenes and sub-genres being created weekly for critics to gush about. The internet just doesn't enhance a person's individual nature. It provides a catalog of identities to choose from.

When you mentioned Normies I immediately thought of the nether apes that Barbarosssa used to talk about those were funny videos. Did you come up with that term?

There are 5 personalities times two genders times 50 shades equals 500 different people. Terry Pratchett wrote that a couple of times and he is the best philosopher there was in the English speaking world Bub.

The Me-Syndrome isn't that just mirror magic on speed or narcissism. Think about it, considered by what we know about females, the story had to be told with a man as protagonist, but truth is, the Me-Syndrome and selfie culture is what the allegory warns about. The male version would be the virtue signaler or white knight in shiny armor. Ever stalked a view of your viewers? Just to look what they look at? I guess it would be quite diverse on a second glance.
