What do we do about the problem of individualism?

Interesting read, apparently individualism, uniqueness is the reason for the rising suicide rate.

This definitely seems to be the case on the RegLeft. What do you guys think?

Freedom is the cost of reducing suicide?

I believe what she's saying is that our individual social structures are out of balance...

We as people have completely lost the communal social structure that we require due to our narcissism.

We need a balance.

These endemic problems may also be acceptable side effects to our way of life and culture that developed.

Take Tumblrettes for instance, they have this insane hyper-individualism that is based on being "unique" They have completely rejected the traditional social structures as a result of their desire to set themselves apart.

Or Normalfags for instance, Social media, its nothing but "me" "I" "mine" "My"

Interesting read!

But I think this could be a question of correlation and causation: do we see a causal relationship or are they just correlated?

Individualism isn't bad. Some say its o e of the defining traits of the European mind, the need to distinguish onesself, to become a hero, to contribute something that is uniquely yours. White individuality is the cause for countless inventions and innovations that have benefited us. The level of individualism is too high though, and needs to be balanced. Cities have tipped us from natural communities. Our neighbors don't look like us, and we still distrust the ones who do because they're degenerates for all we know. At best we don't know our neighbors. Community isn't counter-individualism in my view as much as it is a balanced from keeping it going out of control in one direction, in the same way men and women complement each others' pure natures that may be destructive on their own.

It's natural selection

Yeah true: people in modern America can, largely, live any way that they choose. You as an individual can survive quite comfortably with a relatively low-stress, part-time job if you look around for one.

So if we're casting off these relationships, it implies that we simply don't want them. I can relate: I don't really have any friends, and to be honest I don't want any. I like seeing people, and I had friends when it was convenient, but I don't see any need to go out of my way to get them

Well the writer implies that by talking about Durkheim at the start.

"people kill themselves more when they are alienated from their communities"

Think about Trannies, they divide themsevles from their communities by becoming trannies, its possibly one of the reasons for the high suicide rate (besides being mentally ill)

Personally its been driving me a bit stir-crazy with my friends off at college, i enjoyed having people to hang out with.

The obvious solution is to rebuild communities. The first step of that is to rebuild religion. For that reason, I'm converting to Islam

Have fun being stoned to death.

If only we knew who was behind this social engineering pushing individualist ideas.

>Trying to make me a normie
FEAR MY WRATH NORMALFAG REEEEEEEE

apparently the jews are the only ones who are highly educated and still maintain their communal values.

I wonder why.

Or I could become a kekist. But what are the kekist books of worship?

In all seriousness, humans aren't an island, that's a feature of biology. Our strongest strength however is not all encompassing collectivism, but the conflict of ideas that leads to inspiration, alliances and competition. That way a form of natural selection can play out, where the ideas that work eventually destroy those that don't.

Don't fuck with my individualism and we'll get along just fine.

Christ dude I saw an abortion of a post earlier, but this made that faggot look normal.

In all seriousness, fuck your shit post, I like being me, otherwise I'd be a communist, where statistically there is no suicide rate, only a natural population shrinking phenomenon, comrade. Read brave new world.

We will continue to sharply decline as more of the old order is stripped away by time and technology. If you look hard now you can still find evidence of it, in 20 years it will not be so except in the most remote parts of the US.

>I like being me, otherwise I'd be a communist
What of "you" is incompatible with a homogeneous culture and society?

Thinking in terms of absolute freedom vs. absolute oppression is exactly what (((they))) want you to do.

Kill yourself, libertarian kike. >>>/trs/

He's probably still in the adolescent phase of rejecting authority. That's the only time when you actually think you'd be a "communist" by rejected hyper-individualism.

Probably, you can be individualistic and share a strong communal bond based on similar values and cultural characteristics.

those towns where "everyone knows everybody" probably have interesting little meta-cultures.

I was going to type something about how you're right but then I deleted my post accidentally.

You can't stop it. As long as we have access to what we have access to in this day and age, hyperindividualism is only going to rise.

What does an animal do when it sees a threat? Its fight or flight response activates. Guess what? As long as you use the internet in such a way that most normalfags go, that response will always be active. There's no stopping hyperindividualism.

He's probably all like
>When referring to myself and others at the same time, I never use the 1st person plural pronoun--I'm not a fucking Communist

The sad part is that in 30 years when everything we predicted has happened, we won't be able to feel smug about it.

We are born alone, and we die alone. What's the point of looking for shelter in others in the meantime?

We no longer have individualism.

We're in the "we" generation, not the "me" generation.

People define their identity through their race, sex, sexual orientation, and so on. It's identity politics.

We need more individualism. Everyone is monolithic now.

Gayyyyy

OP's post must have rubbed off onto mine

Edgier than a tetrahedron

There will be a shift in religious beliefs from human in community to force in the environment. Those who are truly disconnected from it all won't end it, they will just stop thinking of themselves as humans altogether. We are in the beginning phase with the rise in hermeticism. The religions of forces will make a comeback and they will absorb will and intent of directionless individuals that would otherwise go to waste.

It's just off the rails because there's no discipline. Or grandparents generation was very individualistic. America is supposed to run on private businesses driven by individuals. The only thing is that shit takes hard work, and most kids want some angel investor to blow their cock for some half baked idea. I blame the baby boomers yet again.
