 It seems to be the only large-scale alternate way to unite people besides statism 

Not sure if that’s a good thing though

 LOVE is the answer to every question. Start there and everything else gets easier. 

Specifically: Agape love 💜 https://image.nostr.build/13693eb08668484fb3dd6e813fa113a34d2168e368f9e26f27914af433d68fd7.jpg

 Oh yeah, perceived love is the glue in both statism & religion. They’re like love-extension technologies, in theory

 Maybe start by loving yourself that way. This doesn’t have to include any relationship with any god nor religion. 

Then you can get there with others. 

For me: it doesn’t mean I like everyone. Anyone who reads my posts will realize there are many things I don’t like about humanity. 

Loving humanity unconditionally is another matter.

 It’s funny because I spoke of all that for years on Twitter but it is what it is.
