To some extent, these traits were universally shared by all British Colonies. Aside from the US, traces remain in Australia.
Yes, I agree. I do think the Puritan basis injected America with a little more capacity for self-denial and spiritual ideals than Australia, but I do think they are just about the only other country worth a damn.
For the most part, however, individuality is doomed, as far as I can tell. Sorry to be so gloomy, but I teach in a public school in Los Angeles, and the only real differences between Islamic cultures and Hispanic cultures, as far as I can see, are surface. One is more militant, the other more easy-going, but they are both ultimately collectivist, fecund, and unashamedly avaricious. They can't wait to swallow up other cultures and claim their accomplishments and accoutrements for their own.
I can imagine a not-too-distant future where the wars are between these two cultures, once they've killed the goose that laid the golden eggs (us.) One side battling for the right to have pictures of Jesus and do those awful butt-grinding dances to hip-hop, the other side trying to impose sharia, but both united in governmentally bestowed largess that will quickly devolve to fascism as the few remaining producers hunt desperately for some Galt's gulch to shelter them.
