Anti-Americanism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia: "Heidegger wrote in 1935: 'Europe lies today in a great pincer, squeezed between Russia on the one side and America on the other. From a metaphysical point of view, Russia and America are the same, with the same dreary technological frenzy and the same unrestricted organization of the average man.'"
It is strange that these criticisms, while they don't ring completely true, still have some resonance. And yet I can't help but think that the Chinese, and perhaps even the Indians, will be even more breathless and hasty in their rush to organize the average man. And too, the sense I get is that the majority of Americans have grown lazy and complacent, delegating the hard work to immigrants, preferring to sit back and let the "passive income" roll in.
