"We tend to be individualistic" is one of the most ironic statements I've read in a long time.Imo it really depends more on culture. Britain isn't what I would call a two-party system and we tend to be individualistic in contrast to many nations, but when compared to the US we can be quite collectivist.
Individual vs. Collective is a dumb dichotomy that only serves to obfuscate the realities of living in a human society.
Our society is a precondition for our individualism, and vice versa. No single human individual would survive without the rest of humanity. To condition people to only rely on themselves is the greatest thought crime in the history of philosophy.

love would contradict.I think it's all about finding balance. We're social animals but not hive drones.

I'll elaborate...no you lean any way you want I AM
I'll elaborate...
People are social animals in a spectrum.
Some lean more in the individualism direction.
Others in the hive direction.
It's not about extremes....purity is a rarity.
