Obedience is a failing in humans, following orders is the abdication of your own will to that of another. So which is worse, the tyrant who issues the order or the subservient that follows those orders? My own personal opinion is that the order follower is by far the greatest threat to the freedom of the individual. Without them all tyrants, dictators, demagogues etc. would fail miserably. Without the ability and desire to asses your actions and come to you own decision, your nothing but a pawn in another’s game plan. Just following orders or blindly doing your duty are probably the most under estimated crimes in society. Nobody knows better than you what your desires are, and nobody has the right to make that assumption.
If we desire that better world for all, then we have to be rid of the order followers, the obedient and subservient, each individual has to take responsibility for their actions, you can’t hide under that shield of “only following orders”. To do so is the abdication of your right as a rational human being. Be a freethinker, question everything, take responsibility for your actions, so consider their outcome very carefully.
