    Yeah, I get you…

    One thing that totally kills me is how the US just *screwed* with so many other nations over the years, mainly for profit, etc.

      Same as every super-power in existence ever. Maybe …it’s just a super-power thing?

        In a general way, likely yes.

        But in a specific way, for example when you look at Jeff Daniels’ Newsroom speech to the college audience, there’s a ‘squeaky-clean,’ treacly level of nonsense that’s long been attributed to the US, that simply doesn’t jibe with reality. It’s got some parallels with the English Empire nonsense, but not necessarily so much with other super-powers. That’s the difference.
