Individuality is always favourable to me over collectivism. Also the opposites of toughness & independence are fragility & dependence rather than meekness. Meekness can co-exist with toughness & independence. It doesn't tend to much in me, tbh... Might not be a socialised thing.https://twitter.com/ThatOtherChann1/status/1052987106681921539 …
So you keep saying. I am referring to the arguments about collectivISM and individualISM.

Please deal with it. Collectivism vs individualism are the correct terms for when collective takes priority over the individual or individual takes priority over the collective. They are the words I need to communicate clearly what I am talking about.https://www.britannica.com/topic/collectivism …

2/3 Please consider using some more accurate word, like "tribalism" or "identitarianism," for what you're talking about. As a socialist who has experienced harm at the hands of a totalistic group (that also called itself socialist), I'm very sensitive to this distinction.

1/3 I object to the way you're using the term ""collectivism." As far as I can tell it originated with Ayn Rand, who used it -- as the Right continues to use it -- as a way of promoting the conflation of socialism with totalism.

1/2 If I belong to a democratic collective -- a self-managed enterprise, for instance -- that's certainly collectivism as I understand the term.

2/2 At the same time I'm expressing my individuality with my voice and vote in its deliberations, as well as in other aspects of my life. What kind of indivisualISM is this not compatible with?
