A large part of the author's thesis is that greater individualism led to more progressive social values. A possible counterexample to consider would be Norway and Sweden, where there is greater pressure toward social conformity than in the USA, but whose societies have long been seen as more progressive.
- airhead969 5y agoYou can have all the individualism you want, so long as you don't step on other people's toes. I really hate America's culture because it's so shallow, self-absorbed, anti-intellectual, "might makes right," inconsistently puritanical, and ignorant.
