26/ You dont so much migrate to America as you convert under pressure, subtle or not, to Americanism. Often due to dynamics set in motion by American economic evangelism and crusading worldwide.

Yeah, America is geopolitically unique. It's a massive contiguous batch of diverse resources, geographically isolated from competing powers, organized on the latest principles, with almost zero historical baggage. We can afford to treat interdependence as optional.

Could afford to. No longer true. I mean there’s now a crisis on the west coast due to China refusing to take in our recycling anymore. Doesn’t get more interdependent than that.

I think calling it "America" instead of "The United States" helps to frame things the way you're framing them. The interdependence we deal with is between states, which would be nations at any other time/place in history.
