As for Gundam, I would like to state that sacrificing individualism for collectivism should always be a purely voluntary decision.
Judging people on this ground and mentally forcing them into sharing or caring for the collective is basically bullying. And humans are a socially oriented species unless capitalism and enforced structures force them to behave otherwise. Or else a psychopath.
After all, all of us are rumored to be crazy for social approval at the end of the day over everything else.
