    I want to emphasize that the examples I gave were about intensified individualist ideology expressed sociopolitically, even economically by extension because of pushback and hostility against even the possibility of change. Not necessarily unique, but more.

    I don’t think analysis can go very far if the primary point is “this happens everywhere” with the implication that it happens nearly equally everywhere which I disagree with, especially if that’s supposed to be the end of discussion.
