I found this quote below. It came from a well known figure.
"It is thus necessary that the individual should come to realize that his own ego is of no importance in comparison with the existence of his nation; that the position of the individual ego is conditioned solely by the interests of the nation as a whole ... that above all the unity of a nation's spirit and will are worth far more than the freedom of the spirit and will of an individual.... This state of mind, which subordinates the interests of the ego to the conservation of the community, is really the first premise for every truly human culture .... we understand only the individual's capacity to make sacrifices for the community, for his fellow man."
The man who said this - Adolf Hitler, 1933.
let me guess ..... NS troubles ? ...
this is so.. familiar.. so.. american.
i agree with this. society comes before individuals.
