How do I choose both options?
SJWs are a natural consequence of corporatism.

The "village" of "it takes a village" is not a village at all. It's a gulag.

Now, if someone wants to rephrase honestly that "it takes a gulag," I'll be glad to register an opinion. :twisted:

How individual are we going here? You were probably raised by at least one parent right? Outside the family, you probably had friends whose parents watched you when you visited. You might have had teachers that helped you with your work, and steered you toward a career or hobby that you were interested in. If you played sports, your team mates and coach probably had a large influence on your life. Many people on here went to church, and the churchgoers often help each other out when shit gets tough. Is that not a "village" of sorts? If it isn't, then why would you describe the distant government as a village, but not the people in your local life?

To determine individualism vs collectivism, this question is poorly phrased.

Even leaving out governments for a second, markets are also a sort of collectivist enterprise. The collective decisions of people determine how much they pay, how much they can sell for, where they can live, and their wants and desires.

We're talking as a fundamental as a idealistic target....do you believe the interests of the community, as a whole, supersede, in most cases, the interests of individual liberty.

What kind of community? One made up of kinsmen or say, a downtown ghetto?
