Actually, Americans hate anti-Individualism.

It's a theme throughout our history. Look at our earliest real and fictional heroes. Daniel Boone, Davy Crockett, and James Fenimore Cooper's Hawkeye. Rugged frontiersmen - in the case of Boone and Crockett, enhanced.

This even translates overseas. At one time, German cinema was infatuated with the American Cowboy.

It's mostly a myth. Americans are just as much herd animals as other nationalities.
