Guess I pissed off a bunch of locals... As I don't understand why they pull over for funerals... They all talk about respect... The person is dead and I did not know them... I guess now I'm heartless, π€·πΌββοΈ
Is this just a local custom? Or do they do this elsewhere?

Individuality vs. Collectivism
Individualism embraces human nature, our inherent individuality. Collectivism attempts to thwart it. The largest, most horrendous mass murders in history were collectivist crusades against the individual. Stalin, responsible for a minimum of 20 million murders, is widely reputed to have declared that βOne death is a tragedy; a million is a statistic.β
The collectivist disparages the individual. He tells us thereβs some higher moral good to βthe group,β especially if he gets to define it or run it. Collective entities invariably reduce to very specific individuals telling other individuals what to doβor else!
