Such a shame americans seems to think the only thing they need is to be american now. Don't get me wrong, you're still the most innovative (with europe?) but that's what it feels like from the outside anyway.
Feel free to tell me I'm wrong though, it's just a feeling 😅!
I think OP mentioned “a generation of Americans” because that’s the example they thought of, not because they think being American made the people exceptional.
You’re not wrong though - a lot of Americans definitely seem to think that just “being American” is some kind of accomplishment in and of itself. Meritless jingoism is intense here.
But I don’t see it being related to the previous comment.
