> the obsession with creating a perfect society is a cope for weak people who can't handle the world's complexities. no system will magically fix everything for you. the world demands grit and adaptability in dealing with imperfection. hiding behind fantasies of how society should be is just the escapism of an infantile mind. > do you like irony? the bug in your thinking is that "group over individual" means letting the state dictate everyone's lives. chances are, when the government does that, it won't be your ideal society they enforce, and you'll be left crying when they come after you for not fitting into their version of the macro. i doubt that most white americans in their heart of hearts consider the fruits of liberalism and individualism to be a net positive. your argument is based on the liberal idea of individual freedom and the free market producing the best possible outcome for the most number of people. this has born out to be false. that doesn't mean that any given socially driven government will do better. it does however mean that to do better we need to have a socially driven government that thinks at the macro level. capitalism, individualism and the free market are anti-thetical to the survival of a nation. if you are a nationalist you can not be for those concepts. that is the point i am trying to make.
