A person may be a Tea Party Member. She may be pro-individualism, which makes her a budding or quasi-individualist. She may be pro-capitalism, for limited government and for balanced budgets. She may be for gun-rights and for following the Constitution. These are admirable stances, but I urge her to complete her transition from collectivism to individualism.
Many, less conservative than her in ideology, are groupist about to the degree that she is. Traditional groupism and social groupism transfers the insiders from the individualist column to collectivist column.
She or anyone, liberal or conservative, an ideological free marketer or an ardent socialist, that remain group-obsessed, actually are at the minimum, social socialists. And that involvement in group living kills any maverizing plans that she retains.
She must disavow the position of primacy for time and emphasis allotted to group activities. Her replacement focus, time and effort will be spent on self-improvement, with social relations still maintained and enjoyed but with reduced status and affiliation.
This how it has to be for all of us to grow, to improve and to maverize.
