America has thus become such contradictory place that trust between random strangers is null and void, already a Hobbesian game of stalemate.
Progressives aren't any better; they rely on implicit, unwritten rules just as much as any strictly heteronormative conservative and so struggle with ethical nuance just as much.

And it's precisely because America really has no culture that it falls on America to face up to this task more than any other country.
Edit: No really, go back and re-read Leviathan, Hobbes doesn't say a state of nature is all-out violence, he specifically says nothing happens ("no industry or culture"); it's a stalemate. Nobody makes a move, so everybody loses
