The east has always done nationalism better than the west.
China’s communism, Japan’s military authoritarianism, it’s all based on national identity supplanting individual identity.
even smart individuals need to be put in charge of teams to get things done
meritocracy
There's also the problem of dismissing fundamental differences between persons as an ideological doctrine. The same political system may very well work VERY differently in different cultures/among different populations. Ppl are NOT the same.
Yes but an individual can become independant of said group and still be effective
'nationalism' doesn't mean indiividualism though
not in comparson he can't

Whatever\
look
Though that shortcoming is not inherent to Liberalism, it's more of a dumbass take on Liberalism that leads to that.
especially not without the great equalizer; the market
A group is effective
in a very limited way
true Doom
they typically tend o be good at doing one thing
very well
you have that backwards
but an individual can be effective in more ways because they don't need to hyper focus to be effective
if you don't have hyperfocus in a group
look at the left for example
the individual needs support from others. if the group is obstructionist, the individual is powerless
This is not a dychotomy though...
too many different ideas
You are both an individual and a part of a group
true
both of these are essntial to your personhood
The individual can subvert the group
hence the obsructionist
control their narrativ
and bypass the obtructionism
to what effect?
only themselves
To get what they want done
why else bypass obstructionism
how? an individual cannot generate the same output a a group
You're just arguing for anarchy
it's pointless
even at low efficiency
No
