    Ya, speaking as an American, America really jumped the boat with Iraq and Afghanistan and the idea of American Exceptionalism. Like I get it, America is the best, but the minute you start seeing results that are not agreeable, change the method. No, these chuckle ducks said we are America and rammed thorugh terrible idea after terrible idea. 'Cause we the best. It’s this mindset that has everybody denying, America was already close to the bottom. Now it seems we trying to be the best at being the bottom. And seeing if that floor can go lower.

      It goes all the way back to the founding of the United States. The country itself is built on stolen land and is rotten to the core.

        What is wrong with a bunch of wealthy racist land owners creating a country to benefit themselves?

        Everything you learn growing up in the US is propaganda and objectively false. There is so much white washing bleach should be the national drink.
