3. But do they?

Do people here agree with it? I think not, for the most part.

Practically every discussion here features people talking about systemic problems in individualistic terms. Recommendations for political action usually "reduce everything to a set of individual choices, taken in a power-free vacuum." People don't talk about Trump as "merely a conveniently shaped monster suited to our monstrous times" but rather Trump and other powerful people are seen as "individual rich people with evil in their heart" who "are to blame for our problems."
