Individualism

Braviong Ruin has the right argument: we live in the most individualistic society ever, this is what you get. Vapid consumerism and pleasure-seeking. Nothing much grander

And individualism losing to collectivist narratives within said society or being manipulated is just the way individualism works.

The only answer to this issue I have ever seen is sort of "we'll try harder" or some other pledge and prayer, rather than re-examining premises. Or of course scapegoating the failure bu ascribing mythical powers to whatever collectivist force exists at the time.

Groups exist. We can observe them and their effect on what is around them. We even have word for them. Jaden-Smoth tier denialism is not a good idea.

But this isnt something you sincerely believe. It's just an attempt to disarm me by keeping out a whole realm of evidence for my ideas. SJWs try to reorient the conversation as well.
