The evil doctrines of Marxism have infiltrated many institutions in the United States, leading conservatives to frame cultural and political battles as a contest between individualism and collectivism.
"When Western governments attempted to create biomedical security states in the wake of COVID-19, it was almost exclusively communities of faith that had the courage to resist. Religious groups possessed an identity and allegiance that extended beyond individual material benefit. This collective identity gave them both the courage and community support needed to stand firm against the dictates of the regime. These communities were able to defend their liberty because they exercised it collectively, united in purpose."
This isn't really about having a collective identity or not having one. This is about organization. Organized groups (even without a collective identity) are able to advance their interests, disorganized individuals are not.

That's what a collective identity means.
One loyalty is the envy of the others.
