An addictive, codependent, smothering one-ness delivered with unquestioning religious fervour sounds like something I’d start an armed resistance against.

As ridiculous as it may sound, this precise sentiment could explain the rise of nationalist fervor in recent times in the face of increasing global consolidation of power and information flow; i.e. nationalist complaining about the "globalists"

I certainly fall under this category, and I find it ridiculous that others find the idea ridiculous. I sense widespread belief that certain things must be a certain way, that no other options are possible, yet when asked to explain this thinking the responses seem to have little depth of thought behind them, and disagreement is rapidly met with an emotional backlash.

It seems to me to be extremely similar to religion, which coincidentally tends to be something these believers criticize with great passion, in my experience anyways.

In general, I find the topic of the posted article very interesting and find it odd that globalist enthusiasts seem to lack interest in it considering the apparent similarities in foundational beliefs.

I imagine many people will feel the same way. Do you think the Oneness will let you alone or pull you in for your own good :-)

If you can communicate with it at all, you have already been pulled in.
