I would define "toxic individualism" as self-centered individualism. What we need is other-centered individualism. The former is an unfortunate result of Liberalism, in which the relationship between liberty and justice is misunderstood. Fortunately, Liberalism also contains the cure — one that maximizes the liberty that coexisting people can share simultaneously. For that, "Equality Is All We Need" (here in Medium).
