That's a good take overall.

One additional point, as an European who has been to the US quite a few times: Hyper-Individualism.

I always felt that with the unlimited upside in the US, there also comes unlimited downsides - which society overall doesn't "see" because it's so hyper-individualistic. Everything, good or bad, is purely attributed to the individual, even though it's really collective, structural problems.

Example: When you look at certain districts in cities like SF, LA or some places in Texas that I've been to, as an European you'd talk about a failed state and/or 3rd world country where it is even hard to comprehend that such places exist in a country like the US. Whereas the Americans I've talked with put the situation largely on the individuals involved.
