Exactly. Similarly I've escaped pretty much every other aspect of Indian culture except vegetarianism, and that behavior I've moved to an alternative basis of simply being concerned about animal welfare, rather than uncritical acceptance of religious-meat-taboo family background.
Hmm I don’t know. I think of it as part of the response to the military-industrial complex of the 50s, which was primarily a post-ww2 tech based forcing function. Cold War tech scene —> Organization Man —> hippies —> civil rights. I’m a pretty strong tech determinist.

Yea, I'm pretty similar mostly (see my prev comment that we're long term fine re: fundamentals), but tech/culture are too interrelated. The M.I.-Complex was partially just US geography, but also probably protestant w.e. / our founding myths of frontier helped a lot.

i.e. it took a lot of cultural gumption/will to think the WWII ramp up was even possible, especially during the Great Depression.
