u haven't actually read what i said. there is a difference between 'being grouped' and being part of group (perhaps even humanity as a whole) we all need each other. i am not defending nations.
You said "...we are [not] entirely individual and unique." This is wrong. There is no other person on this planet that is exactly the same as me, or you.
I think there is a difference between 'identical' and 'individual'. I am not arguing that anyone is "exactly the same" as anyone else, only that we share (and must share) a lot more than we do not.
Whilst we are not 'identical', we are all similar. We are not ENTIRELY individual. If it was that we were all entirely individual in our thought and action, society and civilization would cease to function as we know them.
The society we live in, due to its charming inclusiveness, makes plenty of allowances for those unhappy with the society to make changes to it. Smashing it to pieces is like bashing a kindly uncle over the head with a nest of tables.
On a slight side note, my friend and I often toy with the idea of starting a tribute band to Rage Against The Machine called 'Compliance With The Machine'.
a society wehre people `need` to be grouped is not a civilised one.
their are no borders and there are no nations - why delude ourselves into that pretence.
we have no further need for that hypothesis.

Are you saying that we must be identical in a society that depends on it? Because I agree with you, if that's the case.

Excellent, rational thought. I like it.

You seem dissatisfied with humanity.
