Americans were steeped in “we’re number 1!” At what exactly? I just saw a video of homeless children living in tents in American inner cities. So I don’t know what this “best country in the world” talk is all about.

American media is so corrupting, it teaches them to love war and violence and to always see themselves as the good guys no matter what conflict or war. Same with policing, where American tv and movie heroes are the cops who break the rules, abuse suspects and murder just to “get the job done”. So the whole culture is hammering you with this “Americans can do no wrong” mentality.

When you look at it from the outside it’s maddening, it’s like talking to a drug addict who insists he isn’t. But I can see why Americans living in America don’t see how messed up their views are, and this includes the American left which is very different than the left elsewhere. Nobody seems to be left enough to anyone and every other leftists is “fake”, nobody is good enough to be an ally. I honestly don’t get how America can survive with so much brain rot.

    It's not even just the media. It's everything. Even when I go to my local AHL team games they not only do the national anthem to enforce nationalism, but they've also started doing god bless America to enforce the Christo fascism. It's really revolting.
