It's a common sentiment I once had and that I don't begrudge you for holding but, when you come to grasp a deeper understanding of history, of the rise and fall of civilizations, you realize that individualism always immediately precedes disaster. I doubt I can convince you but, I can't recommend Oswald Spengler's The Decline of the West and Julius Evola's Revolt Against the Modern World enough.
They've come to conclusions I only realized during my evolutionary psychology and anthropology courses. We evolved as a collectivistic species, descending from the troops of chimps and apes that preceded us and even America, in all of its fervor for "freedom" and "democracy", is a collective not unlike the tribes that kept our ancestors alive where individual men and women would've perished in the wilderness but, I digress and drone on.
Thank you, at least, for disagreeing reasonably and standing for your values. These comment sections are full of either the gullible cardmen who fold and concur at the slightest provocation or stubborn argumentarians rearing for a fight with little heed for nuance. I'm pleased you were neither.
Have a lovely day, sir. Take care and do check out those books if expanding your horizons is of interest philosophically. I enjoyed this exchange.

That which start private becomes public. No one lives in a vacuum and everything we do as unitary human beings affects human beings as a collective. Take drugs, for instance. Many say, "What's the harm in doing coke?" Thing is, once you get hooked everything else fades away and that addiction becomes you, disrupting you capacity to work, to provide for those you love, to be a friend, and then you become a burden on the state as you turn to crime to sustain the addiction when you loose your job for testing positive. What once was private has now become a PUBLIC concern as taxpayers and loved ones are forced to pay for the response, treatment, rehabilitation, and detainment of those that've become their addictions.
You can't compartmentalize things you do from the rest of us. Every action is a droplet in the pond and thus, every action has a ripple. Igtv has had a tumultuous affect on the water's surface and it is endangering EVERYONE. They've got to go or assimilate.
