Why is individualism a bad thing? (hexbear.net)

Everytime I here individualism brought up by someone from Hexbear or Lemmygrad, it gets talked about as if it's categorically bad and wrong. Why is that?

This goes against everything I've learned in the states, where we consider individualism a necessary part of being a responsible and moral person, whereas collectivism strips us of our humanity and turns us into subhuman insectoid creatures incapable of thought.

subhuman insectoid creatures incapable of thought.

This sounds like some Hayekian Road to Serfdom or Randian Atlas Shrugged nonsense. In fact it sounds fascistic.
