It's a little disingenuous to characterize it as anachronistic to not fall in line with the One World Order. One reason "alternative power structures" (including families, religions, corporations) arise is because organization is simply necessary to compete with "apex predator" cultures, governments etc., and members of smaller groups often are/feel marginalized. Not that o e ought to feel morally obligated to slow down the pace of social darwinism, but if you are the one getting eaten things look a little different.

- labster 9y agoI'm not seeing the part of GP where he calls it anachronistic nor does he call on people to fall in line. All he does is suggest that traditional social structures still thrive despite a power structure that would seek to suppress alternatives.
