    Not in the sense that ones individual personality feelings and traits are bad more so in the idea of one person of the group.
    Individuality as I see it is a form of selfishness and greed. Instead of working towards the benefit of our communities and the well being of humanity in general which in turn benefits the individual. For example selfish individuality can ruin something like a team sport where individuality must be used to work as a group. When someone goes rouge and puts themselves above the group it does not work.
    I feel that as a society we must return to working together and instead of using individuality and our own gifts to only benefit ourselves we must instead work for the benefit for each other.

    7+ billion humans on earth +millenia of human history and you're sure that "there's no such thing as a selfless person"
    Idk, imo, it seems like modern history tainted our view of what human potentially is/can be

    I had this argument with a group of friends over America and the idea of society and individualism.

    We agreed that strong individuals (take strong however you want to) in order to create a strong society, and you need a strong society to support all the strong individuals in the community.

    What we disagreed is the nuance of whether individuals are weak in America right now, or if America is more isolationist defined as in "me over everyone else." The difference is that you can be a strong individual in order to contribute to society. One of the homies believed that you can't force society communal living without supporting people's weakness's and letting them stay weak.

    not everyone wants to dedicate their lives to community work. some people just want to relax and take care of their families
