I was wondering why Americans act so crazily, and are so keen to enforce their values on others, despite having an individualistic and liberal culture. Furthermore, why do Americans seem to act so rashly (such as road rage and violence), despite having very harsh prison sentences?
I believe that this is largely due to hyper-individuality, in the sense that the individual has become so self-centred and entitled that they attempt to enforce their views/desires on others, without a care for practicality or consequences.
The outcome of this is that you have insane and obscure groups, such as nazis, communists, homosexuals, feminists, black supremacists etc. come together to stage protests and marches and so on. This behaviour can only come from extreme levels of solipsistic narcissism.
There are many great things about America, but the people have drifted too far from their roots, and the common mentality has been damaged to the point of being forever unfixable.
