"you" in english is both plural and singular

"ty" in polish is "you" singular

"wy" in polish is "you" plural

in the past when poland was soviet, people were expected and forced to refer to other individuals by "you plural"-"wy"

so taking this and only this into account we can infer that polish culture is more individualistic than anglo culture

german and spanish are also more individualistic than anglo

While the english language opens up for unnoticed collectivism, your conclusion is a non-sequiteur.

Plural you is almost always accompanied by a modifier, like "y'all" and "you guys"

This makes wonder where the fuck does "you" come from?

Romance language separates between the individual and collective, je - nous, tu - vous, etc.

It comes from French. You basically said it in your post. Pretty much all retardery in the language is due to the French influence.

Must be why England was historically a land of oriental despotism and the birthplace of communism, all while the Continent was brimming with individualists and liberals.

it was to prove that collectivism influences language introducing "you plural" to refer to individual person

Well, russian and polish grammar are very similar, so yeah, Russian culture is individualistic then, just look at Putin or Stalin, notorious libertarians.
