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.

    Come to think of it, I doubt I could even build a mud house on my own. Even the individual bricks needed to build a completely bare bones "house" are also a huge collective effort of humanity.

      A good way of looking at it is that it fucking sucks to do hard or complicated shit by yourself.
