The anti-Americanness Langley exhibits boggles my mind.

I would say that his views are very in line with modern American values. At least the values of those who actually have power.

More like South Africa. American values are very much against concentration of power. Something those concentrating power will be reminded of.

Authoritarianism is as American as sliced bread. It's in the country's bones, starting from its founding, and continuing forward through segregation, the red scares, and into today.

Two years ago, half the voters were explicitly asked if they wanted more of it, and they said 'absolutely'!

I won't say America is founded on authoritarianism. I will say it's founded in the practice of letting businesses run how they see fit, though, with minimal oversight from the government. . . So flock is doing what we value as a nation, just not for the reasons you claim.
