Everytime I here individualism brought up by someone from Hexbear or Lemmygrad, it gets talked about as if it’s categorically bad and wrong. Why is that?
This goes against everything I’ve learned in the states, where we consider individualism a necessary part of being a responsible and moral person, whereas collectivism strips us of our humanity and turns us into subhuman insectoid creatures incapable of thought.
depends on what you mean. pursuit of one’s self-interest is fine, and not actually avoidable.
misidentification of your individual self-interest as seperate from that of others is bad. The key is that “individualism” and “collectivism” aren’t actually opposites.
