“There is no greater compassion than respect for the sovereignty of each individual. Respect for the mind and autonomy of the other (as opposed to steamrolling over that and forcing compliance to collectivist notions of togetherness, ie drone-like conformity) is the very essence of love. Collectivism degrades and infantilizes the human being by making him/her a perennial dependent… when in actuality we are inter independent. Where collectivism hates pride and knocks success.. the individualist encourages both.. knowing that healthy pride is the space where healthy love for others begins. And here.

“Compassion cannot truly happen without respect for what constitutes the perimeters of an individual, nor can love of another. If you think you can roll over some peoples hopes, dreams, and futures, to help others whom you perceive to be suffering can you really be said to have compassion? Compassion doesn’t mean causing suffering in some to relive others. And it cannot mean forcing people to your will because you’ve decided your values are moral and theirs aren’t. Compassion as a bludgeon, or a lever for guilt and power is bollocks.”
