Look these are all good points but the LOONY LEFT needs to update its animal metaphors
Insects do a lot of thinking and the eusocial ones probably think more similarly to us (on a societal scale) than even other primates, go GET EDUCATED MORANS
And this is without getting into the REPEATED reptile slander that occurs here, equating sociopathic billionaires with them even though it is now well understood that reptiles do not lack the capacity for emotional experience in any way
(Also as others have said we are a highly social species with instinctive behaviors that both rely on a social structure and facilitate the further growth and propagation of these structures, there is no dichotomy between individualism and collectivism because we are functional but independent parts of a superorganism whole that we will never escape and should not seek to)
