There's been no "individualism" taught in this nation for decades.
What are you even talking about?

Maybe you don't remember the last president who believes "you didn't build that" telling people that they were scum for thinking they should be sucessful on their own.

People for at least a couple generations now have been told they cannot do anything on their own, that they need others and especially the government to help them.

You are deranged if you truly believe that is why people sit around watching crime happen.
