I don't know. I, for one, am happy the USA exist as a country and Americans exist as a people. The attitude of independence and self reliance has to do obviously with low population density, history and ancient cultural roots, but is commendable.

But it's a bit stupid to give up on the good things of your culture because of internal bashing
