What the FUCK is going on in this theocratic third world country with cellphones and guns???? How the fuck is the US still considered a leading nation????
If you step outside the US you might find out we’re not viewed as leading.
Threatening? Manipulative? Maybe even petulant? Sure. But leading by fear first, everything else after. Now we add fear of our instability to the mix alongside with the normal fear of economics or bombs.
The only people saying we’re a leading nation are the ones wanting you to feel good and/or ignore all the bullshit we do inside and out. The ones that yell “leading” or “greatest” the loudest are the ones fucking us over the hardest.
This pretty well sums up what ya said

Yep. I share that video fairly often. It’s too true.
I’ll offer this one in a similar vein:

Stop adhering to the propaganda pushed on you and you’ll see that America is not what it claims to be. America won’t heal until you HATE it.
