I'm very pro-American in general but dislike the "American values" statement. Which values are they? Freedom, Rule of Law and Democracy? or torture in Guanta

I'm very pro-American in general but dislike the "American values" statement. Which values are they?
Freedom, Rule of Law and Democracy?
or
torture in Guantanamo, invasion of Iraq based on complete BS reasons resulting in the deaths of hundreds of thousands of civilians, support of the Saudi Regime, thousands of citizens dieing from stupid gun laws, probable genocide of the original Native American population, Agent Orange, support for apartheid during most of it's time, lack of healthcare for the poor, support for rightwing Israeli policy, de facto not giving a crap about climate change, mass surveillance etc etc.
- joesmo 10y agoIf the world was an action movie, America would definitely be one of the big bad guys in it. It's time for Americans to realize they are not the good guys in this story, that they haven't been the good guys since the 1940's, and that the only idiots that think Americans are the good guys in this hypothetical movie are stupid, ignorant Americans. The rest of us Americans are disgusted at what is and has happened in our names and by the many vile actions of our country.
