It _does_. But you know what else it has? Basic literacy, where the use of a collective noun in a response to an individual includes _by necessity_ the inclusion of that specific individual in the entire collective class, i.e., specific designation of _me_ as a ‘Freedom Fighter’. That’s rather what makes a collective pronoun _collective_.

What a lovely and transparent way to attempt to suppress the continued illustration of your incompetence. Completely unsurprising from the culture that said ‘hey, I know how we can get people to stop objecting to mass murder! LET’S COMMIT MORE OF IT!!’
