What is an individualistic society? Are you perhaps defining a society of individuals seeking personal belonging within a system of purpose? Maybe that is the speculation of your question - to fulfill your identity within the purpose you create within society as individual. Maybe there is a need for you to feel as if you belong, which there is nothing wrong with. This is a common occurance for most "individuals" in ANY form of population control. Democracy, Communism, Dictatorship, etc - it doesn't matter, there is still a need to be an individual human being, as long as we are not aliens :-P

Birds of a feather flock together.
Since we create our own reality out of the millions of choices, anything someone can imagine will exist. Thoughts are contagious, desires are contagious, habits are contagious, etc. Therefore it would seem that your question`s yes-no answer is NO, because most people are totally unaware or asleep to what is going on and can be happy enough just going with the flow. Only if they are miserable (99% of the time) will they even consider that something is happening, and that is great. It means they are heading in the wrong direction, realize they are, and that is what a negative emotion is. A warning signal. Have a wonderful trip.

Yes of course.. You're right on!
fools will think Zen is not having an identity
but they are wrong.. They should read
Motorcycle Zen ( not about motorcycles)
or Kundalini.. it is all about having an identity
we each want to outdo the other or in other words show up the other don't we?

ALL societies establish a pecking order. Where you fit into that order is your societal identity.
That was two sentences and it answered your question. What was "unattainable" about that?

you have observed a issue with individuality this is fundamental to the chaos around us. whilst relatively everyone has somebody schedule the straightforward stable isn't served regardless of the schedule of the superb is is served and that occaisonally could have poor outcomes that impact finished societies for the extra severe. opposition is stable yet in basic terms till it discovers soemthing stable sufficient at that factor we would desire to continually stick specifically to that, no longer tread on one yet another continuously clambering to be superb in case you prefer to foster humility teach it to be of top quality via maximum well known via occasion,(superb edit to the Q.) all of it starts off with us in basic terms like the aggressive innovations-set did and that seems to be up and working. humility might make a stable brother for competitivity!

No. Individuals themselves make that choice in that kind of free society.

Yeah. But get us all naked and what do you see. Scary to think about I know.
Its an individuals character that creates a person.

if you look at the zen buddist community the identity is not having an identity

Here's a quote you might like from a zen teacher:
No wonder you are unhappy. You spend your life trying to do things for your self - and there isn't one.
