Maybe I have higher expectations and aims for dadka Somali. After gen z I want us to be like the Jews, insular but still very well connected, supporting each other’s business snd Somali money flowing in our communities. Look at Kenya, Uganda and other African and gulf communities we live in. We help each other out economically and build. I want to keep that with the us living in the west however liberalism and individualism is a mantra Beaten in us since our arrival and sadly this collectivevism that’s very ingrained in our culture will deteriorate with generations to come
There's a lot of nuance to what you're saying though, I'd argue collectivism was our downfall. It was clan warfare that destroyed Somalia, we could've done with some individualism, it might have saved us. It's why you see a rapist or terrorist being protected by his own clansmen, even if there is incontrovertible proof that person committed the crime, who wants to live in a society like that?
Collectivism like the Jews/East Asians is ideal, but whatever we're doing back home ain't it. I'll admit there are some positives to it, but the negatives far out-weigh it.
