Individualism does tend to go hand in hand with nihilism from what I can see. Which to me is a very depressing outlook. Like how can someone go "it's all meaningless just have fun" and not be terribly depressed. I guess if you have enough money to pave over the emptiness with thrills and hobby friendships, you can mostly ignore it?

I can't speak for anyone, but I found young liberal nihilism created incredibly stressful conditions under which to "just have fun". Wait, so I have to maximize my own pleasure and if I don't then I destroyed a piece of the universe? Very annoying to take seriously
