> The US was founded on individual rights and freedoms, not community sacrifice.

You clearly didn’t grow up in an immigrant neighborhood in the city

I disagree with Walter here but the US wasn't founded by urban immigrants. There's a difference between pioneers, like the Mennonites in Mexico, and immigrants, like digital nomads in Mexico. The former are almost always more popular than the latter.

  • Even so, do you think the Mennonites or Mormons in Mexico would agree with no community sacrifice as as part of their narrative?

I grew up next to the Hispanic neighborhood in Arizona, and the schools I attended were about 30% Hispanic.
