    What was it that Thatcher said; “there’s no such thing as society, only families and individuals

    Well they got their wish, why would individuals and families die for something even the elites don’t believe in

      It’s kind of funny that she was such a reactionary that she couldn’t even commit to the galaxybrain stirner bit, because “families” are also a social construct, and if you mean the objective biographical facts of biological relations and not the social formation, then there’s no need to make a carve-out here because there’s no inherent reason families need to associate with each other beyond reproduction, so they aren’t relevant to saying society doesn’t exist.

        That was also my thoughts when I first read the quote, it was such an obvious and cowardly cop-out, she transformed her deluded declaration of profundity into a pathetic utopian plea, Stirner would’ve spit in her face

        The quote is also a good litmus test for chuds and liberals who can’t detect the ridiculous contradiction within the sentence
