If we talk about herd - animals, I agree with you. When we talk about a big amount of people that is in the same boat (like this herd) the word is not compromise for me. We are growing as animals but not as Humans, it´s more like a livestock herd, maybe lams?

This ideas of democracy or egalitarian society works as grass for them.
as society we spend our time in front of a dark and cold glass screen, closing our real windows (eyes).

I don´t like to compare the human stupidity with the perfection of wild animals... livestock are just poor and dependent animals.

Maybe is just that, the result of a life of bad quality food, insufficient good quality pure water, zero nurture, without real love, real care or real attention. A life of blind slavery and fashion followers.

And here we are, as part of this.
