The individual as the atom of society is Enlightenment poison. The irreducible unit of society is the family, with its non-consensual responsibilities and obligations.
Having responsibilities and obligations does not remove someone's free will.
Hell, you have responsibilities and obligations to yourself: you have to feed yourself. If you don't, you'll die. Does that mean you don't have the right to exercise free will?
Absolute freedom is satanic. Jesus seeks willing bondslaves. At the same time, the existence of freedom is divine. God designed us to exercise free will.
The entire test is to choose to not exercise it always. To defer to God and those He puts over you. That's it. Most will fail.
the freedom to choose our slavery is God's greatest gift to man. everyone is a slave to something - to get to pick to be a slave to Truth and Goodness is the highest honor.
It's driven me up a wall how people keep falling into this trap. "History rhymes" may be a wise adage, but the more it's internalized, the more of a black/doom pill it becomes.
Fanilies that share my ideologies have more value to me than any communist that only shares my skin tone ever will. Blood relations that harbor ideology hostile to the health and welfare of myself and my nation are my enemy.
Ideology is a choice that demonstrates far more about people's character than the circumstances of their birth.

I'd dispute this on the basis of most people's susceptibility to industrial scale propaganda. Most people are wired to be followers and do as they are told, so the circumstances of their birth(being born into a society that propagandizes a particular ideology) does in fact have a significant influence.
He also opposes women's suffrage despite his claims that "ideology is a choice that demonstrates far more about people's character than the circumstances of their birth."
It has an influence, but retards that are led by the nose are not the ones that will prove exceptional and differentiate themselves from their group stereotype. Those NPCs can be treated as what they are. Not being a collectivist doesn't mean every person has value - it means not deciding a person's value based on their immutable characteristics.
Rejecting collectivism doesn't mean tolerating Jamal criminal and his pack of goons. Collectivism does mean preferring your own race's trash over actually valuable people of another race.
Leftist ideologies are based around collectivism and rejection of individual rights.
Right wing ideologies are >70 IQ and caoable of recognizing individuals as more than a collection of stereotypes.

From there, recognition of tribe is inescapable.
This is a brilliantly evil way to argue that individuals should not have rights or exercise their free will.

How convenient it is that these texts were published by the church, who just so happen to be the gateway to god, apparently.
Thus the issue with polarization, the neglect of balance

low IQs love absolutes and polarization. it simplifies the world to the point where they can talk about society and think they're smart.

Look at the patterns from that account.
"muh skin tone"

Which means a black baby born and raised amongst a civilized society will always be better than a white baby born and raised in a trash society.
responsibilities and obligations to whoY?
Theocratic people would say God.
(Actual) Fascists would say The State.
Communists would say the People.
These are all excuses to enslave people to serve a master.
The real answer, in my opinion, is to yourself, your family, and your friends.
