What do you have against farmers?

If you are referring to the thing at the side, "kmet" is not a "farmer", it is a "serf". And in Croatia, it is often used as an insult, basically to denote a person who unthinkingly serves a master.

Dutch flag. But what is the relation with the Sacred Heart symbol? Tried looking it up and got nowhere.

It is Croatian flag, actually, just with the checkerboard replaced with the Sacred Heart.

In Bulgarian kmet is actually mayor, lol!
Anyways, here is the relationship between NATO, the USA(commonly known as Kravaristan) and the EU from the Bulgarian new right/hard right/non-establishment/populist/nationalist/everybody who isn't a bought and paid for leftoid globalist atlanticist perspective.

No, it's a general philosophy of life that is correct regardless of occupation.

'Being a team player' these days is often code for 'don't dare point out problems that might embarrass the team leader or hurt their stock'.

Unless someone is getting paid tons to be a team player, like in professional sports, individual thinking often produces superior results.

As with so many things in life, there's a balance to this; society is formed of an aggregate of individuals.

Trying to claim that someone must subordinate themselves to 'the greater good' is not only devaluing a person, the 'greater good' when it is a matter of compulsion in human society always and without exception ends up being 'whatever the dictator wants.'

If each individual is not recognized as having inherent dignity and worth, then how can the combined aggregate of individuals have inherent dignity and worth?


On the other end, 'hey man, don't leave your garbage all over the park, everybody uses this place' isn't asking or trying to compel someone to degrade themselves on behalf of society. It's asking them to recognize that their carelessness can cause problems for others.

If you want to be treated as someone with respect and dignity, then you must also treat others with respect and dignity.


Where this usually becomes slightly murky, is when you have group projects that can only really work if people act in an effective cooperative manner. If the goal is to be accomplished, then people must work together, setting aside their own personal desires temporarily for the good of the project. Of course, in a healthy day-to-day normalish life, this is basically 'I'm at work ~8 hours a day and I contribute my labor to keeping the business going.' Then once you are off work, your time is your own, and you can do with it as you please.

It isn't actually that complicated; you give up something of yourself, (time and labor), and are given recompense in return (money usually, hopefully some respect), and in a free society, you can choose whether or not to do so. Radical ideological purists can have trouble with this, because they're so fixated on a single concept that they don't see how it has to be balanced with other concepts that have worth.


At the bottom line, a man of wisdom and discernment, can partake in a community, contribute to it freely, and have the self-respect to leave that community if it tries to dominate him. Going out either extreme into total community dependence or total rejection of human relationships is destructive.

In all endeavors that require team effort, being team player is what pushes everything forth, while ''individual thinking'' is the code word for the shirking asshole who ruins everything. Some degree of independent thinking is welcome, but anarchy is not. Afterall civilization is built on humans working as teams.

I mean.
They infantry man thinking independently without his team is a dead infantryman.
In something like the military every thing everyone does contributes to the greater aspect.
Sure doing your best to stand out for promotion is recommended, but at the fighting level, it is all about the team. Not yourself.
For instance, an NCO puts themselves in the line of fire with his team. He doesn't stand back.
Then you have Offficers who think their career is more important then lives and gets those soldiers on the ground who are able to adapt and overcome die, because of someone being purely pushed by individual values.

So no, not in everything can being focused on oneself be better then team focus

And how much do they get paid for that 'teamwork'...oh, that's right, not much, certainly not nearly what a pro-athelte makes.

And no, the military isn't a team; "Team" as a term implies some ability to actually have constructive, whole group discussions as equals, not subordinates and commanders.

The military is a machine, not a team, with cogs that take orders from the top, regardless of their Constitutionality or the legitimacy of the person at the top, and do what the cog above them commands.

Sports teams work with a pretty strict top down structure as well. Like in football, QBs call out the plays and the rest of the team falls in line, and coaches come in above them. Management and owners above that.

If you don't listen, you probably aren't going to be on the team for very long.

If we arnt a team them we should not work as one.
Let's hope all those infantry solders you just got killed, thier families forgive you for them not working together as a team.

Oh there are plenty if teams in the military. More then you realize. Because that is how you make sure people survive and find new ways to keep soldiers alive
