> culturally we tend to think that our country is the best place in all dimensions
I think that is a stereotype itself, and at this point held more by non-Americans than Americans. Aside from a minority of hard core believers, what I mostly hear is complaining about the country. Especially online.
- coldtea 5y ago>at this point held more by non-Americans than Americans I've seldom met Americans who didn't think so, even leftists seem to have this mental wart (well, some of them might think Canada is the apex of civilization). Manifest destiny, and everything.
- rootusrootus 5y agoOnly 29% of Americans actually think the country is headed in the right direction. Everyone else thinks Civil War Redux is close at hand, because The Other Side is evil and destroying the country. I can't remember the last person I met who thought the US was the best place in all regards. We're mostly aware of the problems, but completely opposed on how to fix them. The current political climate is born from that intense frustration with the status quo.
- geodel 5y agoWell Canada is the apex of civilization once they disbar "evil chinese billionaires" from buying all real estate in Toronto :-)
