"... asking a mass coup for liberation or freedom is quite contradictory, because the only thing the masses can do, the only thing they have always done, tightens controls, imposed by the force of the state a single thought and has exterminated any form of foreign thought. Today we are freer than ever, and more controlled than ever. "

I'm glad you ended with this, as I was thinking about this very thing as I was reading your story.

I've been wondering of late if we are not seeing a collective movement towards individualism - which of course is paradoxical - everyone en masse trying to assert their individual nature.

I'm not sure swinging from one extreme to the other is appropriate or wise. I personally think a completely individualistic society would be horrific; a dog-eat-dog, wild west type society.

Sheeple are equally as annoying as wolves.

But your point that collectivism ruining pluralism and poly-culture is spot on.
