US Authoritarianism

Correct. I think the entire premise that an American would question this idea is an indication that the meme was made by somebody from a country with one of these pins in it.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not defending this mindset. I am myself an American making this observation with a sense of shame and mild horror.

Americans run around moralizing while exploding everyone. They impose their views and politics into every country on earth. But if you criticized them for being idiots who allowed Trump to win, they tell you "you're not even American!" As if American stupidity doesn't affect the rest of the world. And this is the kind of shit I'm hearing from the American left now the side that was supposed to be smart and reasonable, and you know, not racist or xenophobic. But they've also gone toxic extreme as well. Americans are nuts.

Or they could realize the reality of the situation without making it about taking credit for being "the best". As an American I know our country sucks, especially now, and also that it's important for global stability.

Nah, it's probably what you said. I just truly think the US is way better than any other country. /s

Edit: I missed that they wrote "most". In my defense though a lot of users are currently cruelly shitting on Americans unconditionally. A lot of us didn't want this bullshit

👋 yep... Tbh, I just never thought through the "their shit is next door" part.. just the "they have a lot of shit" part
