I think in most places people have some positive feelings towards things like ancestors and traditions. In the US we're told to be an individual above all and that the highest pursuit is personal gain. I think it's that stuff that's the issue.

It's really that philosophy that fucks people up. I look fondly to tons of American ancestors. But, I'm thinking of rock n roll stars, rappers, and counter-culture icons that made America the socially liberal haven it sort of became/is.

I mean, I can smoke weed on my porch listening to NWA and that's kinda sick, I gotta admit

America is an experiment in extreme individualism. Others learn of the results and make something different. Or more likely now have some collective memory to avoid that particular pothole and end up stumbling into some other arrangement cobbled together by conflicting groups.
