don't buy into the individualism/collectivism crap. it's all power, all propaganda. if the state wanted to, any of these western states really wanted to, they have/had the ability to mobilize resources appropriately.
the fact that capitalist nations serve capital and not their citizens is the sole reason the responses have been to murder citizens to keep capital happy.
I mean the big indicator of this is that the country I've most heard called "collectivist" is Japan.
Yeah, the country where the working conditions for the average person are so stressful that a huge amount of them consider or commit suicide is truly thinking about the collective.
