Egoism is not “rugged individualism” or whatever ML slander you want to call it, it is co-operation. Voluntary co-operation out of wanting to see others live their best lives and be free rather than a because a system says you must. Egoism is everyone cooperates because it’s not we together, it’s we want you to have a life full of well-being and will find a way to accommodate you that works for everyone.
You should read more about the ‘Union of Egoists’ and how people can come together in a mutually respectful, open, and equal manner.
And Japan has an oppressive and rigid social structure that ostracises and outcasts those who do not conform, it is a horrible way to live for anyone who doesn’t fit into the very narrow definition of acceptable. No one should suffer that homogeneous conformist approach to living.
