Americans are stupid, hateful and willing to shit all over each other if they think they will personally benefit, even if know it is only temporary

Selfishness is baked into what passes for culture in that backwards dump

    Its baked into and directly caused by the ethos of rugged independence. It's in the roots.

    I agree completely

    That, and the fact that cruelty is celebrated

    Like with most things, it's the minority that messes it up for everyone. In this case there are a large minority that is either indifferent to or actually revels in the suffering of others. They seem to mostly be republican. For them, the cruelty is the point, or else they're selfish and indifferent, which I believe is indistinguishable.
