I hear these comments for not wanting to help people, and it feels like we're worshipping individuality to the detriment of community, which is necessary for survival.

  • "I don't want my money going to ___ ."
  • "This is not a democracy, it's a constitutional republic!"
  • "You don't have any freedoms under socialism/communism."
  • "They're just looking for a handout because they're lazy."
  • "I'm a self-made man. I didn't need anyone's help."
  • "Empathy is not a virtue."
  • "I don't see how that's my problem."
