I've actually never seen Evangelion, but that's cool if so.

I wish it was as simple as that. But if it comes to having all 3: unity, freedom, and individuality, If you want to have 100% of one these things, I'm afraid its impossible to also have 100% of the other 2.
Maybe that's just a 'can't have your cake and eat it too' way of thinking of me. But the more I learn about how complicated, issues on personal freedoms and unity can get, with all sorts of different conflicts of interrests. The more it seems to prove itself to be true.
It's like society has a 'mary/fuck/kill' choice situation. Where you have to pick one these options for unity, freedom and individuality.
At least that sort of a choice-game, but with the options: promote/compromise/lose, I suppose.
With that point of view I'm having about this, I think most of the world is progressing like this currently:
-Promote unity
-Compromise individuality
-Lose freedom
It sounds like a pipe dream right now, but I feel it is possible to have all three in time. Anybody who uses their individuality to interfere with someone else's individuality is not practicing true unity. If you wish to sway someone to your idea, then talk with them about it, and if they disagree with it, then that is the end of it. The reason we haven't progressed as a society is due to our inability to allow someone to convey their points without fear of ridicule, chastisement, or even exile; this kind of attitude towards contradictory communication is what promotes isolation or cult-like thinking which can even turn into actual terrorism. There's never gonna be full control over things like this, but we as the individual can certainly help by not turning away those who think differently from us. Prove to them that their views of a certain community are not true by just listening to them and being genuinely kind but also firm in your beliefs. Show them as a member of that community that what is preached in propaganda is based in falsehoods.

Your rights end where other person's rights begin. The same goes for freedom. Respecting others the same way as you respect yourself is indeed the key to unity

Exactly! Glad to see a good amount of us are on the same page.
