Well its philosophical isnt it. Individualism means that people with different priorities are not arbitrary subjected to what the collective wants - and relevant to the post, maybe what nobody actually wants but everyone is disincentives from opposing. Through human history, groupthink has led to lots of horrible things - maybe there are examples where individual rights have too, or maybe you could argue the benefits of collectivism outweigh the cases where it has led to trouble. It really depends on what you're trying to optimize for - which again depends on individual priorities.
