It's the "be yourself and don't give a fuck what anyone thinks" mentality. I have literally heard parents saying to their kids "She didn't like you getting with her boyfriend? Who gives a fuck what she thinks, haters gonna hate.".
The idea of individuality and being happy with yourself is great until it starts wrecking one's perception of what a community should be - communication, cooperation etc. Kids aren't being taught to do what benefits and helps everyone, just to be themselves and not care what anyone thinks.
Look around. Our society in general endorses a "do what makes YOU feel good and fuck what happens to anyone else" attitude. To be a good member of a community is conformist and a kill of your personal individuality. Individuality is everything.
Is it normal I didn't mourn for Sandy Hook?
