I am thinking of the mindset of wanting to hook up with as many people as possible not taking into consideration other people ‘s feelings or who might get hurt in by the process, which objectifies other individuals. That is an individualistic thought process, right?

Edit: I meant commodification in the sense of online dating apps, escort services, only fans, porn, prostitution and patriarchy. This trickles to the culture due to base and superstructure, and it is adopted by individualism.

I can relate to that. I’m from the US too, and I just don’t get it. I don’t feel like I’m part of the culture - any of the things here. If there’s a culture here, it’s something I don’t belong to or don’t want to belong to.

There are plenty of cultures in the US, but if you aren’t born and raised in them, they just kinda exist as far as being part of one.

That’s cause the US has no culture other than stealing from others and white supremacy. Happens when you base your entire existence off settler colonialism, you have no culture but colonialism.

No argument here. It’s no wonder most people here look to the cultures of their ancestors.
