When it comes to philosophy

I think people should do what is best for the common good.

In my opinion western society has become a little too individualistic. Too much focus on the self can make people selfish.

Men have also been brainwashed as well

Believing that masculinity is bad and etc.

How does this relate to what I am saying about western culture?

Your talking about eastern culture and that is different than western culture.

@The Dank Lord care to tell me why what i said was retarded?

I challenge you to prove me wrong.

@The Dank Lord

I never said individualism is bad

I think if their is too much of it then its a problem.

People who put too much emphasis on their own personal needs without taking into consideration the needs of others are selfish.

Also there is no need to be disrespectful @The Dank Lord calling people idiots doesnt help your argument and its uncivil.

If everyone was cocerned about their own needs that creates sectionallism which leads to division.

And division can lead to chaos.

The civil war is the greatest example of that. It wasn't just a war caused by slavery but their were other factors to consider. The south cared about its economy (dependent on slaves) and the north cared about its ideals without taking into consideration the effects it would have on the rest of the country.

Also the common good means something that benefits most members of a community (general@ public). @Deleted User ironic how you say western society but disagree with my argument on the importance of the common good over individualism. The u.s. a western society and many European societies were founded and influenced by the enlightenment that brought you these ideas such as the common good.

I never said I want a communistic or highly collectivist society I just believe the west is becoming a little too selfish and sometimes arrogant. And your refusal to be open to your opinions and your rude behavior @The Dank Lord hurts your moral high ground. I do not hate the west in fact I live in the west. I just like to think for myself and I have my own opinions on the world that are based on reason and some analysis of history.

Sorry @Deleted User Its a llittle harder to understand what peoplel mean

with text we dont have tone, facial expressions and body language to better interpret what people mean

my argument earlier was against extreme individualism

basically I think too much focus on one's self leads to selfishness and problems

I tied this into the u.s. civil war

where both sides focused on their own goals instead of national unity and considering thein interests of their neighbors

Yes the civil war was about slavery but other factors played a role

Again sometimes the left is right.

im not saying you are

also the reason why the south sllavery was economics

they made them money

some of it was ideological

but as i stated earllier

the north was cocenred about their morality and the south their money and some thought slavery was moralll

neither seemed to be making good efforts to compromise because of their sectionalist desires

this lead to chaos and death

Unfortunate for him

I admire his willingness to be strong in his beliefs but their must be a balance here

Yeah again im not anti-individualism

I think we might have too much and I think peoplle shoulldl consider others

if everyone in the world focused on themselves we may have more wars

because peoplel put themselves over maybe considering the situation of others and working out a way for their to be peace

im glad we agree on something 👍

Honestly, some of these so called gender issues are overexaggerated.

Some of these people may be doing it to just get attention or so they can justifying playing the victim so they don't have to take any responsibility.

@Children.Deserve.Cancer.REBORN I'm referring to people who foolishly believe that the west is still ruled under a patriarchy and other people who think that society is somehow oppressing a certain gender.

lol

@SheepSeller I dont know if you are trolling or being delusional.
