I have a sneaking suspicion that America does not do this type of "we're all going to die and we know it" thing -- it is mostly "we're gonna get home to mary jane!" or "we're gonna beat those baddies till they bleed, even if there are a million of them and three of us". I exaggerate, but I keep getting this prejudice confirmed.
Europe has more of a "we're going to die and we know it, but we are going to do it anyway" thing going. Positive thinking not so much a thing around here. We see through it.

Who's lumping several societies into one? The European Union, most likley.
