Misguided Individualism is Destroying American Democracy

[IM2]

The belief in individualism is fake news. It's just that simple. Nobody has achieved anything by themselves. Ever.

Misguided Individualism is Destroying American Democracy

There are many reasons why our democracy, and democracy around the world, are in peril, but I want to focus today on one specific aspect that is close to uniquely applicable to the United States: our worship of individualism.

I was moved to this thought by this morning’s Letter from an American by the eminent historian Heather Cox Richardson: January 5, 2025 (OK, late last night’s). She was writing about letters left behind by Green Beret Master Sergeant Matthew Alan Livelsberger before he blew up his Tesla outside the Trump hotel in Las Vegas:

Livelsberger’s notes reflect not reality but rather the political rhetoric in which many Americans have marinated since the 1950s: the idea that a government that regulates business, provides a basic social safety net, promotes infrastructure, and protects civil rights crushes the individualism on which America depends.

You ******* retard this country was FOUNDED in such a way that the INDIVIDUALS rights were protected from the masses of retards, like you, who would love to trample on them.

IM2 is just a troll who likes to see people get upset. Just ignore the fool. He is probably some pasty, lazy white kid living in his mommy's basement, dreaming of a Communist Utopia.

Without the freedom to seek your own direction, society would atrophy. Not everyone is built for seeking out their own path its true. Others are built for support and that is also necessary. Not everyone is born a type "A" individual but some are. Often times they can be assholes or even greedy etc... but not necessarily so. Many people just seek out adventure and risk. You cant take that away from humans.

Yeah, leave it to the dailykook to take inspiration from a guy that had a traumatic brain injury and PTSD. That said, I'm still trying to figure out this "Nobody has achieved anything by themselves.".

Yet those same people allow a woman to kill a baby cause it’s hers, like it didn’t take two to make it

Pure Unadulterated BULLSHIT

The one thing that is killing the American CONSTITUTIONAL REPUBLIC is the COLLECTIVISM adopted by the so-called progressives in 1913 and its reinforcement in government schools . Two planks from the communist Manufesto were enacted then

1- the heavy GRADUATED income tax and
2- the Federal Reserve Board

A Layman's Look at the Communist Manifesto - LewRockwell

Partially Educated The Communist Manifesto is one of those documents I was aware of, but had never taken the time to actually read. As a woefully undereducated product of the public education system, I somehow managed to slip by the class that required reading of the old Marx and Engels classic...

Im2. Thank you for the book suggestion of how we should be governed

 

[Mac1958]

It's just simplistic, shallow, binary thinking.

Nuance and complexity anger MAGA. There is no in-between or gray area on anything, because addressing in-between or gray areas requires curiosity and intellectual elasticity.

So we're going down this all-or-nothing, Good vs. Evil (they're supposed to be the "Good", by the way) road for a while. It is what it is. We'll see what remains after that.
