This of course is the crux of the argument made by fascists, Islamists & extremely religious Christians & Jews against the United States - that it is a culture obsessed with materialism & money, sapped of connection to romanticism or the soul-world.https://twitter.com/tomxhart/status/1022796720894291968 …

The US most certainly isn't evil, nor is it devoid of people who care about more than money. Highlighting the interesting criticism you made here of the Puritan left as the same one made by many others. The communist objection is interesting bc they are also materialists.

How do you know the US isn’t evil? I am agnostic on the issue, although I think a lot of problems stem from Anglo-Saxon religion and philosophy.

OK well in that humanity has a tremendous capacity for evil, the US hasn't avoided its fair share. However we would argue that the US is at least no more evil than any other culture. It just has different pros and cons.
