I've never read B. Fuller except when he was mentioned in the books I was reading at the time. Namely political philosophy texts and related material. I do know that I'm keenly anti-establishment from some of my earliest dealings with what I saw as a manufactured existence(a later conclusion) I didn't particularly care for. "Conformity" was all the rage in the 1960's as I was attending primary and early secondary school. One was termed a thorny branch to be trimmed and reabsorbed into the masses.

So I kept quiet on my actual views to stay in grace for the powers(that shouldn't be) shaping my views attending class. Staying invisible, keeping quiet, mostly, was a survival tool against the general push to 'conform' to society's norms. Hence my adoption of some of the hippy movement's anti-bourgeois attitudes. Sadly, most joined the establishment and the mad wheel of ambition, exploitation, and capitalism's relentless drive toward extinction. Then lately while exploring the Pharma cartels, as a result of the pandemic, has opened my eyes to what I used to trust for my health. How to fight this? I haven't a clue, they are just too powerful. Like billionaires in general--in my alternate world they shouldn't be allowed to exist. We are still our own best advocate. Peace, The Ol' Hippy
