The White American soul at its core is literally Faustian. There is an endless thirst for more for the individual white American who sees himself as an ubermensch. The American mind is still subconsciously fighting for the frontier, everyone still wants to be a cowboy.

This soul is what sprouted a lot of great philosophy and art in the 19th century. The Progressive movement, Transcendentalism and such are American products that come from this Nietzschean-esque and more positive rights English type liberalism kind of ethos that is moreso an expression of the Personality, (in Evola's terms) rather than the kind of negative rights French type individualism/liberalism of anarchism.

Don't quote me on the English and French liberalisms, I have not read these philosophers. I am just using them as archetypes and I'm trusting Spengler's word that they are accurate descriptors.

But yeah, as we have seen when there is a lack of pro-social institutions and an active attempt to subvert these instincts into hedonism, extreme selfishness etc it's very easy to manipulate people into being the literal worst people on the planet.
