Germany was obsessed with its own importance, having recently been unified into one country in 1870.

Not knowing which way to go, Neitchze's philosophy triumphing over all, the underbelly of human nature reigned.

True, we have our sordid elements here in the US of A. However, we have a much stronger religious dynamic going on here in America than Germany had, despite the haranguing voice of the media elites. We have a century of totalitarianism to look back on and learn from; Germany was just on the cusp of entering into that era caused in large part by its own spiritual depravity.

Yes, and unlike many countries, we have a long tradition of individualism and freedom, though those things seem a little out of vogue at the moment.

I'm not knowledgable about Nietchze, but your comments seem pretty much on point to me.
