While nationalist/nativist sentiments prevail mostly among the working class, this exactly describes the “New Class”, a deracinated group of bureaucratic and corporate elites. The Slate article you’ve linked to on the end of America describes “the emergence of a transnational class of biologically enhanced supermen and women (‘They’re all about 6-2—and that’s the girls,’ Schwartz says) who identify more with one another than with any particular nation.” I think they’d be more like the Alphas of Huxley’s “Brave New World” than Nietzschean Overmen.
