Our Society Tends To Regard As A Sickness Any Mode Of Thought Or Behavior That Is Inconvenient For The System And This Is Plausible Because When An Individual Doesn't Fit Into The System It Causes Pain To The Individual As Well As Problems For The System. Thus The Manipulation Of An Individual To Adjust Him To The System Is Seen As A Cure For A Sickness And Therefore As Good.

The Concept Of "mental Health" In Our Society Is Defined Largely By The Extent To Which An Individual Behaves In Accord With The Needs Of The System And Does So Without Showing Signs Of Stress.

Rebellion Against Technology And Civilization Is Real Rebellion, A Real Attack On The Values Of The Existing System. But The Green Anarchists, Anarcho-primitivists, And So Forth (the "ga Movement") Have Fallen Under Such Heavy Influence From The Left That Their Rebellion Against Civilization Has To Great Extent Been Neutralized. Instead Of Rebelling Against The Values Of Civilization, They Have Adopted Many Civilized Values Themselves And Have Constructed An Imaginary Picture Of Primitive Societies That Embodies These Civilized Values.

I Would Just Turn My Back And Wouldn't Talk To Him.
