It’s a whopping two categories (or the gray area between them), which don’t unambiguously refer to “individualism” or “collectivism”, but instead also refer vaguely to associations with dozens of other issues, so it’s actually a worse way of describing those ideas than saying “individualist” or “collectivist”, because you’re no longer even specifically saying that. And “individualist” and “collectivist” is already a terrible way to categorize all political ideas.

Environmental protection is collectivist. It’s what is best for everyone. (Including future generations).
But abortion is a good exception.

But what’s best for every individual is what’s best for everyone…
