Community is about a group of individuals coming together in order to proffit from each other. It is an individualistic form of organization, where in order to do well you have to help others with something they need in order for them to reciprocate back.
As the opposite of individualism is collectivism, whenever society falls into it there is no longer a sense of reciprocity. Because collectivism implies that in order for society to be fair we need sacrifice.
An unevee exchange of value between two parties. This creates two types of attitudes in society the self-righteousness and the self-loading. Either way the individual is no longer valued, because there is no longer a need for reciprocity.
Community gets replaced by a cult, a form of organization that allows a small group or one individual to proffit in an unfair way from everybody.
There are three main characteristics of a cult:
1.Isolation: in order to have better control over the people you want to take advantage of, it is more efficient to isolate them from the rest of the world. Some examples of this are: uniforms, schools, academies, clubs or even the boundaries of a country.
2.Indoctrination: coult members are not allowed to think for themselves or have autonomy, instead they have to accept a series of predetermined opinions, that don't necessarily belong to them.
This is often done very early, often during childhood by using punishment and reward control techniques.
3.The artificial opposition: of course that all this horrible things need some fake justification. That is protection from the imaginary monster that lurks in the shadows.
Because the people who are indoctrinated consider the abuse they receive on the daily basis a form of necessary evil, that will ensure our safety.
They will attack everyone that is going to contradict the doctrine. Which is a general truth just wear some unusual piece of clothing an watch the people attacking you for not wearing your uniform that the master ordered.
It is not imorral to wear different clothes you are not hurting anyone but it goes against the CULTure.
Cult members will defend the doctrine before they will defend themselves or the loved ones arround them. Even their own children, which is why it is so common for young people to rebel.
Rebelion it is not a normal part of development, because it requires opposition. In order to rebel you need to be supress first. Which often creates a war between the generations, playing hot potato with the responsibility of why young people are so disfunctional.
