A comment on Busyness leads to bad decisions. Parent comment
Rugged individualism was probably never a thing. The first thing that settlers did when they moved west was to create towns and communities.
Anyone believing otherwise should try to live in the equivalent of the 19th century west without the support of a town and the services it provides.
(I.e.: no blacksmith, no doctor, no general store, no post office, no telegraph...)
