Minimalists must find ways to thrive alongside collective capitalism.
The world economy has transformed into a system dominated by the collective at the expense of the individual [see photo].
Old terms like "left" and "right" politics no longer work. Old notions like "government for all" are being rendered obsolete. Concepts such as fiscal responsibility are being ignored. The idea of a meritocracy has been scrapped. The practice of entering into a "handshake deal" is moribund. And so on and so on....
Today you are part of a collective or you are a minimalist. You belong to the orange, yellow, or red group or you are a floater whose existence is not fully accounted for. You float and drift around without engaging in political discourse. You provide value to customers if and only if you can establish a one-to-one relationship with him or her.
Thus you live inside the cracks, alcoves, and shadows of a centralised global monopoly that distributes to designated groups on behalf of the elite who form the collective.
Key features of collective capitalism are as follows. There is no trust. There is need for facts. There is no scientific proof. There is no free will. And there is no God.
Minimalists can and will survive because they exist just outside the reach of the collective. They are able to minimise their collective wants. They are able to suppress any desire to curate collective habits. And they are able to remain rusted onto their own beliefs.
