Imagine you are in a group. Then the group wants the complete opposite of what you want and want many things to ruin your life. Now what is the point of cooperating with the group?
You may say other groups judge you for being a part of the group you're in but still if you fight with your group for things you don't personally want you lose even if you have the numbers.
>individualism is pragmatic
No it's not.
>Now what is the point of cooperating with the group?
Sometimes, the group will make others do what you want.
It is pragmatic if the group wants the opposite of what you want and is willing to hold back your life in its name. You may say well other groups will judge you and hate you but in that case isn't my group just as much my enemy if it's willing to hold me back so much? If the outcome is bad either way it makes sense to side with myself
>The group wants to opposite of what yo want
You form a new group. This how nations have been formed since the dawn of time retard, how are you going to stand up to a group that wants you dead alone?
Not if you are born having almost no status to the group.
Your frame of world view is wrong. Get over it.
How is it wrong?
Because groups will always win over individuals
Most people are retarded and don't understand the difference between collectivism and community. What the average retard here wants without realizing it is a system of individual rights with a strong community. That is not collectivism.
