Well maybe you should stop assuming stuffs about me >>Modernity, a topic in the humanities and social sciences, is both a historical period (the modern era) and the ensemble of particular socio-cultural norms, attitudes and practices that arose in the wake of the Renaissance—in the Age of Reason of 17th-century thought and the 18th-century Enlightenment. You believe anti conformism was the norm in any given society, prior to modernity? Anti conformists have always been frowned upon. It's only when modernity started to be a thing, that you started to get rooms for anti conformism. And of course, there's no such thing as anti conformism without individualism, and for individualism you need modernity. It's not for random reasons that protestantism started to come about around that era.
