It argues for taking care of oneself before others, and that it&#39;s wrong for people to be forced to take care of others before their selves, i.e. via wealth redistribution. This value system is antithetical to the <a href="/garden/anarchism/">Anarchist</a> values of community and mutual aid. I personally am against individualism and see it as against humans nature of cooperation. We&#39;re a social people and have for our entire existence relied upon each other.</p><p>As a personal anecdote, I&#39;m a recent parent and the whole &quot;it takes a village&quot; adage makes a lot of sense, and has made me hyper aware of how individualism has made it very hard to raise a kid these days. There&#39;s no 3 generations living in a house anymore, and suburbs are spread out and isolating, preventing strong <a href="/garden/local-communities/">Local Communities</a> from forming. To sum up, the &quot;village&quot; doesn&#39;t exist anymore.</p><p>Hyper individualism is a modern invention, not a &quot;good ole traditional value&quot; we should all aspire to. It was explicitly created by capitalist values, and replaced pre-existing value systems that prioritized co-operation.</p></div></div></main><!----><!--[--><!--]--></div></div></div><!--[--><!--]--></div></div><!----><!--[--><footer class="vp-doc" data-v-105848cf><div data-v-105848cf>CC 2024 <a class="h-card" rel="me" href="/about" data-v-105848cf><img src="/me.jpg" alt="" data-v-105848cf>The Paper Pilot</a>. <a rel="license" href="https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/4.0/" data-v-105848cf>CC BY-NC-SA 4.0</a>.</div><div data-v-105848cf>Any and all opinions listed here are my own and not representative of my employers; future, past and present.</div><div data-v-105848cf><a href="https://resume.incremental.social/thepaperpilot/thepaperpilot" data-v-105848cf>Resume</a> (not actively seeking new opportunities).</div><div data-v-105848cf>Site built from <a href="https://code.incremental.social/thepaperpilot/pages/commit/cec440f3f7b38fff1838832cc042bd77558ba624" data-v-105848cf>this commit</a> on <time data-v-105848cf>Saturday, November 09, 2024 at 07:25:28</time>. <a href="https://www.thepaperpilot.org/licenses.txt" data-v-105848cf>Legal disclaimers</a>.</div></footer><!--]--></div></div>
