Capitalism will always massively oversell individualism to maximize its survival, no matter if the reality is that society can survive without any individual, but rarely can a single individual be able to survive without society.

Not more dangerous than overselling individualism. I would rather downplay individualism any time than say something that is not factually correct, and say that any single individual is essential for humanity moving forward or our survival.

I wouldn't downplay the importance of individuals though. I think that can be dangerous.
