Lol. I thought the younger generations have more atheists than the old ones. Weird. Shocked

In the Health and Religion thread I talked about some of the possible reasons why the younger generations are more religious.

The end result is that you are left with a Machiavellian choice. The only way to fight collectivists is with a collective solution

When you say "The only way to fight collectivists is with a collective solution" you are highlighting the limitations of the individual.

While I agree that we all need a community in order to protect our interests what is most important in the long run is the nature of the community we choose to join. For example:

Hitler expressed his future plans for the Slavs

Quote from: Adolf Hitler

As for the ridiculous hundred million Slavs, we will mould the best of them as we see fit, and we will isolate the rest of them in their own pig-styes; and anyone who talks about cherishing the local inhabitants and civilising them, goes straight off into a concentration camp!

Heinrich Himmler, in his memorandum "Reflections on the Treatment of Peoples of Alien Races in the East" dated 25 May 1940, stated that it was in the German interest to restrict non-Germans in the General Government and conquered territories to four-grade elementary school which would only teach them how to write their own name, to count up to 500 and to obey Germans.

When I need to concentrate I often find it helpful to play music in a language I do not know. YouTube works well for this.

Just today I came across this utterly random yet beautiful singing from a young girl in the Russian army.

Nazism classified this young lady as "subhuman".

I would propose you consider these alternatives that are superior choices to repeating the errors of history.

1) Join a healthy collective. There are numerous conservative Christian groups that form the backbone of local communities. These can help protect like minded individuals when overall society descends into fits of irrationality

2) Be patient and watch as the growing orthodox population transforms Judaism from within. There are large demographic shifts underway. We see that in the higher numbers of young religious scientists and it the growing and soon to be majority of orthodox and ultra-orthodox Jews. The politics of Judaism will change dramatically as the orthodox become the sizeable majority.

3) Convert to Judaism and take over the "enemy" from within. Cheesy
