I really don't think the collectivist societies are that far ahead. People just invent out groups. India's castes, China's Uyghur's, Japan's castes and treatment of Korea and China, etc. Religious out groups, ethnic out groups, cultural out groups, linguistic out groups, etc. The list is just as long.

This sounds like a big whataboutism, or at least oversimplification. The opposite of individualistic society could be western socialism.

Yeah, unfortunately seen this on all corners of the political spectrum, hidden or not.
