    Some of us, yes absolutely.

    Form of nationalism / hyper pride / drinking the kool aid that America is the perfect nation.

      My backwards ass family is convinced. In reality they’re the type of people the rest of the world laughs at.

      Yup, those that say that we are the best country in the world typically have not left the US for more than a week at a time. It also fuels their xenophobia and the thought that resourceful immigrants that are taking the initiative to seek out a better life are somehow less than human.

      may I ask you to stop using the kool aid metaphor and start using the term propaganda (if you think it’d be more effective, for example) ? just saying, eh.

      EDIT: downvote, but please explain, or ask me to explain. what kind of exchange is it otherwise?

        It’s a reference to the followers of Jimmy Jones who upon being asked consumed poison laced kool-aid. I think it’s a rather fitting statement

            I’m curious, why the desire to do such? Pop culture provides one of the biggest methods to allow for social cohesion amongst various social circles

              pop culture it’s also a resonance chamber, where you get used to messages, finally losing deeper, inner meaning, in my opinion. propaganda, the term itself, won’t lose its meaning and, again in my opinion, ends being more effective. ty for asking
