  I don’t know. Talking to everyone in this thread no one has told me they feel superior or beyond reproach. Mostly they just say their drawn too thin.

    It is an ingrained attitude seen through statements like “leaders of the freeworld”, “the great american experiment”, “the most powerful person in the world (potus)”, etc.

    Americans have too much pride in a shithole country. There just isnt much justifiable pride to be found in modern america yet the leading party over every part of government maintains this greatest countrt ever bs.

      I don’t know, there are lots of really good things about America. I am happy to be here rather then a laundry list of other counties.

        Great, a lot of times this attitude comes from having not been elsewhere but maybe not with you. I cant personally see any great benefit.other than weather and landmarks but that is just down to size and ability to travel negates it.
