Individualism != selfish and ignorant.
I'm highly individualist. I stay inside, wear a mask everywhere I go and listed to experts like Dr.Fauci on the subject of Covid. That's just one example.
There's a large amount of the population that lack empathy and are willfully ignorant. Individualism may be the cover word but what you actually mean is "hyper ignorance and selfishness"
- colinmhayes 6y agoAs A. Savage says, collectivism and autonomy are not mutually exclusive. I'm not sure most Americans know that though. If Americans self identify as individualists and believe that means being anti-collectivism then isn't individualism, or at least the ideas of individualist thinkers, partly to blame for our cultural bias against collectivism? Maybe I should've said it's America's culture of toxic individualism rather than run of the mill individualism.
