yes and it's deeply ironic that you just quoted an American film which was satirizing that attitude twenty years ago!
if anything I feel like Americans have become extremely self loathing in the passing generation since the release of Team America: World Police
- r14c 2y agoAmericans may feel that way, but "Team America: World Police" still applies to US foreign policy in 2024.
- Nasrudith 2y agoInteresting that the self-loathing seems to be associated with waging unpopular and losing wars. I didn't live through it but the Vietnam War seemed to have some similar impact that persists to this day with the utter loathing of conscription. It seems to be the same underlying cause: that bad leadership essentially permanently burned credibility for their country for no gain for their country.
