    ugh. “collectivist” is a word coined by western chauvinists. that’s not a real dichotomy. your fucking Abrahamic countries are far more collectivist than us soulless confucianists

      Depends on the point in time really. I meant “collectivism” in the bolshevik sense, the kind somewhat preventing horizontal mobility because why treat a person separately from their collective.
