You are free when you are genuinely, accountably, vulnerably together.

There is no way that I'll consider myself free while subject to the whims of a "solidarity community."

Every person now has their own exhibition space. Their own publication platform. Their own therapeutic archive of curated self-presentation. The dream of modernism has been fulfilled: the self is everywhere, exhaustively displayed.

That isn't individualism, that's exhibitionism.
Neither does individualism automatically lead to that. It makes for a cute hyperbole though.

Freedom means individualism. Individualism means turning inward. Turning inward means you are Western and free. Collective orientation means Soviet submission.

This is such obvious hogwash, it feels silly to point it out.
Just look at the current landscape. Far beyond "Soviet submission," the collectivist narrative is being pushed by a huge range of people. It doesn't take a Bolshevik to seek refuge in the collective and, in turn, declare it the non-plus-ultra for every person.

Granted it is also true that freedom does not necessarily mean individualism. I'd rather see it as personal choice as to which way one wants to go.
Neither does individualism automatically mean turning inward. That constructed sentence feels purely made up to make it sound worse.
Counter example? Monks. They are constantly turned inward, yet undeniably part of a collective. How individualist.
