Okay explain safe spaces then.

Explain how group identity politics isn't an overt appeal to groupthink.

And then we can go from there.

Why should I explain any of that? None of that existing means that individualism is gone. Here let's run an experiment between you and I. Do you think exactly the same as I do, dress as I do, and act the same? If the answer is no to all of those then you and I are individuals still. Thus individualism still exists. QED, and all without addressing any of your loaded strawmen.

In other words, destroy everything that makes one self-reliant and enables them to have support networks outside government. Then the only alternative is government.

I'm the 'original' Socio-Agnostic (as defined), and you're I assume a Collectivist/Socialist (I think we both know you are), so therefore its about as impossible we think the same as it is for there to be oceans of liquid water on the surface of Sol.

There you go. While making up arguments about me like you usually do you have confirmed that we are unique and therefore individuals. End of story.

So you're not a Socialist / Marxist / Collectivist?

Strange, as many of the others around here that use all the same arguments, and stick to the same topics, and always have the same answers, like you're all reading from the same flow chart it usually feels like, well I've seen many of them all openly admit to being "socialist".

But forget all of that, here's the thing, in groups... in Us Vs. Them group scenarios people's brains function the same way. Everyone fights about ideology etc, but the brain underneath all of that think the same way. I see it everyday herein.

I am me. Labels are limiting. I've never liked labeling my political beliefs and I'm ashamed I got away from it for so long while on ATS. Just because my beliefs align with many facets of socialism doesn't mean I want to adhere strictly to its beliefs. I don't like being pigeon holed into political ideology. Especially by my political rivals, such as yourself, who like to use that as strawman ammunition against me.
