@LoliHat bout the only thing English has going for it 😅 it's all downhill from they're... their... I mean "there"

@LoliHat @stormbringer Individualism seems to be a uniquely English linguistic attribute

@LoliHat @stormbringer I don't know if I think benefit is uniquely english, what do you mean by benefit?

@Jazzy_Butts @stormbringer To distinguish one from a collective entity. To distinguish oneself from the collective is a benefit. To surrender oneself to a collective is bad.

@LoliHat @stormbringer Yes, it is definitely a benefit in the way it enables freedom and dignity of the individual. Most societies seem to be running on autopilot, like ant colonies, unconcerned with individual contentment and only fixated on the whole, like how in the video certain languages do not differentiate between the fingers and the hand of a person, a finger is part of the hand so to them it might as be classified as the hand. They do the same with people, a person is a member of the community, and so is not important apart from the community, it is the community and the community is it, like a cell in a body.

The obsession with "normalcy" is quite telling.
