Distinction Between Collectivist Masses & 'The Public'

"We The People" is not a collectivist mob

This is an important comment. In the book “The Revolt of the Public” by Martin Gurri, he differentiates between the public and the masses. The public is made up of individuals, coming from the bottom-up, leading social movements organically because they are sharing information in a decentralized way. In the book, he gives examples of how ONE person’s actions can create a butterfly effect that has the ability to cripple authoritarian regimes. This is very different from collectivism, which is based on ideals organized from the top-down, and adopted by the masses.

I touch on this in my previous video: The Age of Information: How Decentralization Threatens the Status Quo

This Twitter video is a great description of what’s at play here, and how the Target boycott actually harms Americans.

Ideologically captured corporations are also victims, not just perpetuators. They do this kind of thing because they are coerced, as I mentioned in my video: Target ‘Pride’ Scandal: How Collectivists Pervert Language to Advance Their Ideology

And finally, we should be weary of collectivist forces on both sides of the political spectrum. I got into this with Bruce Pardy here: Breaking Free from Political Polarization with Classical Liberalism | Bruce Pardy & Kate Wand

Have a great weekend all.
