So the whole problem with Western liberalism is it reduces individuals to Collective groups. That means it’s a lot easier to ignore the individual and just assume that you are a big Collective special interest group. And once you’ve got rid of the individual then you can assume that each person is nothing more than a productive unit who must support the state. Which means you’re nothing more than a tax producing Little Ant and people who like to meet up in bars and play the guitar suddenly become suspect because they might not be paying taxes and therefore are enemies of the state.
