America more individualist than Germany? Yes but ...

• """I think German culture is still anti-individualist"""
  
  
  I agree ... It´s pseudo- individualist
  
  the guidline "live and let live" is often spoken, but not practiced.
  
  People tolerate (while suffering by doing so) other habits and beliefs, but they don´t accept it
  
  In this respect, america might be more open
  
  But the american wal marts culture is everything but individual
  
  You´ve the strange belief in individuality by monotony - look at the suburbs: All houses look similar, and so do the yards, the car parks, the streets and the avenues
  
  Maybe every society tends to sameness, but you only see it as a foreign visitor
