One could argue that liberal democracy offered a solution by making everyone have the same rights and focusing on making sure every one individual's right are protected in front of the majority.
The idea that everyone has the same rights and noone can legally break them was the pre-political basis of our democracies.
One could argue that, as of late, we've been focusing more on collectives and less on individuals.
Collectives can't be all equal (i.e. per definition they might have different size, us vs. them) leading to them causing an unhealthy imbalance in social power dynamics, that wouldn't happen if we focused our attention to the individual.
