It's definitely possible to find purpose and meaning in good times, but without a good community? That's a work of fiction promoted by modern secular society.
You're insane to think that community is necessary to find purpose/meaning in life. Plenty of us have had to escape and avoid all communities in order to survive, and we are doing extremely well. Fuck your "fiction promoted by modern society", the life that works for you does not prove that everyone else should live the same way.
"Be kind. Don't be snarky. ...Please don't fulminate. Please don't sneer, including at the rest of the community. ...When disagreeing, please reply to the argument instead of calling names. "That is idiotic; 1 + 1 is 2, not 3" can be shortened to "1 + 1 is 2, not 3."

I'm an incorrigible angry mess right now because I'm dealing with close impending death (edit: not my own, but very close) in RL and it's bleeding over into every sphere and making me behave terribly, but it's not a valid reason to be a dick. I'll dial it back heavily and do my best to either act like a normal person or be quiet.
community is not a fiction promoted by modern society. quite the contrary. community was always quite important throughout history. in fact the idea that we don't need community is a modern fiction. sure, some individuals may feel comfortable to live as hermits, and maybe you are one of them, but then you'd certainly be a rare exception, because most people can't go through life without having friends and a welcoming community around them.
