Most Americans Like America A Lot, And The Left Should Stop Ignoring This Fact Jesse Singal Almost every cohesive human group has beliefs, practices, or claims that other groups find strange. In most cases, at least in the modern, developed world, this doesn’t matter. We’re pretty good at live-and-let-live. I find Catholic and Muslim and Orthodox Jewish rituals weird, but as long as no one is dragging me to church or mosque or synagogue, that’s all fine with me: Do your thing. I’m sure you guys find my beliefs weird. In some cases, though, groups that are hoping to change the world can be stymied by the fact that they have adopted beliefs others are very skeptical of. One example, in many progressive and lefty circles, is the idea that the United States is extremely evil or unfair or just otherwise bad. This takes a lot of different forms. On foreign policy, we are an evil, imperialist “empire” extracting resources from vulnerable countries at the cost of distant, dark-skinned people’s lives. Domestically, we’re little better: Everything is so stacked against the poor, and inequality has run so rampant, that if there was ever anything like “the American dream” — itself a propagandist phrase, of course — it has long since been strangled to death by the oligarchs. {snip} The question shouldn’t be what the United States has done wrong — or not just what it has done wrong — but how it has behaved relative to other nations with similar levels of power. And it’s here where the progressive and lefty views of an especially or uniquely evil U.S. collapse entirely, I think. But I just don’t think that the U.S. has acted in a particularly horrific manner, either at home or abroad, given its power. The U.S. does not suddenly decide it wants to annex some foreign territories and launch a ground invasion and/or a bunch of cruise missiles. The U.S. does not, for the most part, repress its own citizens in anything like the way actually repressive regimes do. If law enforcement mistreats someone, and it’s captured on video, it becomes a national story. There are all sorts of responses to these claims: Yes, police departments close ranks and sometimes enjoy state laws that shield violent or otherwise negligent officers from responsibility. Yes, “Well, we’re not as bad as other empires” is thin comfort for dead Iraqis. But I’m sorry: We are a gentle superpower, at home and abroad, by any reasonable standard. Or gentle enough that it’s silly to pretend we’re especially or uniquely bad. https://jessesingal.substack.com/p/most-americans-like-america-a-lot? 1

Big Blitz Posted Friday at 06:21 PM Posted Friday at 06:21 PM (edited) This clown can’t stop lecturing you and just being an overall colossal POS You do you Barry and celebrate “democracy.” None of which in the history of the planet have lasted longer than you can have a cup of coffee. We’re a Constitutional Republic. And we know you and your sycophants hate it. For the rest of us: Edited Friday at 06:21 PM by Big Blitz 1 1

Big Blitz Posted Friday at 06:32 PM Posted Friday at 06:32 PM Republicans don’t care who the POTUS is. Democrats base their fake love of country based on their being a Commie POTUS We love what this country stands for and why it’s worth defending no matter who is in charge: 1
sherpa Posted Friday at 06:36 PM Posted Friday at 06:36 PM Enough animus. Take a second to read the Declaration that Jefferson wrote. It changed human thinking which had established power in government. One of the best, and most influential documents in history. Where did we get such men, and why did we deserve them? 1 3 2
