 “I refuse to join any club that would have me as a member.” 
 I refuse to join any club that wouldn’t want me as a member. Fuck those guys! 
 何これ?少しナンセンスに聞こえます ,🤔🤔

 But you're on #nostr

 Romanticist marxism 
 Are you saying being in any club is wrong? Always try sway back to being an individual.
So maybe its ok to be part of a club, but once we've learned whats useful we need to leave. Most members of clubs have overstayed their "membership" and they don't want to leave because of the power it gives them. But have lost their individuality in the process.
Does that mean I need to eventually leave nostr? I don't think nostr is like normal groups. Individuality is most important thing. Nostr promotes and strengthens the individual. Most groups rob the individual of their individuality. You just end up believing the opinions of the group. 
No, I think we need both, groups and individuality are equally important. And so we should do both. But both can't exist at the same time. So there are times when you need to fully disassociate yourself from any group you maybe part of to harness the power of individuality. I'm not sure being an individual all the time 100% is what individuality is about. Not sure. 🤔 
 One of my favorite quotes 
 My Dad would tell me this for years...🥰

 I question the worth of any group that would consider me worthy.

 The solitude of the Wanderers is what makes him so precious. 
 So you are a groucho marxist, eh?...🤨 
 Good point.  
 But for only 10 € a year you can be member of the most fun wind orchestra in my local surroundings! Thx for the support! 😜
