I mean, do criminals who don't conform really deserve to participate in society? Do they really deserve to be free and decide what to do with their own lives? No. Freedom is a privilege granted by society, and it can be taken away by society. |
Your thought process is a bit too Brave New World-ish for my liking, equating conforming with good and nonconforming with bad. And remember that your view of "good people" is only
your view.
I'm not going to not do things for the sake of it, but anything that has sparked amazing change in the past hasn't been the norm. Perhaps if you were sitting naked in a cave without fire your argument would have more weight. You live your life with the tools and ideals of nonconformists and then complain that they exist.
