Why is individualism a bad thing? (hexbear.net)

Everytime I here individualism brought up by someone from Hexbear or Lemmygrad, it gets talked about as if it's categorically bad and wrong. Why is that?

This goes against everything I've learned in the states, where we consider individualism a necessary part of being a responsible and moral person, whereas collectivism strips us of our humanity and turns us into subhuman insectoid creatures incapable of thought.

Was lookin' at this thread, thinkin' "all the bullshit amercanism spews about LIFE LIBERTY AND THE PURSUIT OF HAPPINESS, the individualist bullshit, all the stuff you could actually want or need from that is achieveable through collectivism eventually anyway" and it turns out some old guy with a big moustache came to that conclusion decades before I was born.
