Well, here in Europe, Americans are famous for this philosophy and their politics reaffirm this reputation.

There are of course more countries to which this applies, but America is the only world power with these ideals, while Russia and China are clearly "collective societies", which Putin even admitted publicly at one point.

Don't get me wrong, both systems have advantages and disadvantages, but in my opinion individualism is an irreplaceable value and personal freedom is preferable to social security in case of doubt.
