13. I really liked Rage Against the Machine. Now I think individualism is everything. To the extent that we are radically isolated in terms of being. There is no "in the world". Only cosmogenix events to which we are partial.

19. The moment a leftist tried to convince me individuality is not an ideology.

>>13049182
'I am outside ideology' is the calling card of the man completely enthralled by ideology

How old were you when you grew out of the individual/collective false dichotomy?

What a strange image.

Individualism (assuming egoism or some type of material individualism) is a scam. Transcendental individualism, which ironically is more akin to universal collectivism, is where I am right now

>>13049156
How old were you when you found out that “meme” doesn’t mean “joke” or “parody”

Am I a sex addict or is there serious erotic tension in the last panel ?

She's clearly fucking Garfield.

That's what I desperately wanted to not realize despite intuitively suspecting it.

Just happened last fall, age 29. Wrote a rambling email to my dad, brother, and best friend about how I think "hyper-individualism" is causing a downfall in society. Will post the ~1800 word email if anyone cares.

>>13052235

"My instincts tell me" that I agree with you, but also that this is no criticism. You make arguments that boil down to steam; "intuitively" has no place in conveying abstract meaning. Return is regression, the standard of "the thing greater than oneself" is as tattered and moth eaten as the cynically constructed social "individuality." Any effective defense against capital has to be individual at the level of the abstract and general at the level of the concrete.

Fair enough.

>the thing greater than oneself is tattered and moth-eaten
Perhaps, and maybe it's trite as an alternative to the "hyper-individualism," but what is a better counterpoint to individualism? I believe I stopped short of prescribing religion as a solution because I truly don't know what a good suggestion is.

Wow, didn't realize Garfield had gotten quite dark in recent years...
