"It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, it was the season of Light, it was the season of Darkness, it was the spring of hope, it was the winter of despair, we had everything before us, we had nothing before us, we were all going direct to Heaven, we were all going direct the other way – in short, the period was so far like the present period, that some of its noisiest authorities insisted on its being received, for good or for evil, in the superlative degree of comparison only."

Yes, I know it's long, but it's still just one sentence. Yes, I know it's Dickens and he was English, not American.

It is the extreme belief in the superiority of one's own correctness to the point of seeing anyone that disagrees with that is a hated enemy that needs to be brought down by any means necessary.

From an outsider's view:

A heavy dose of gloss and shine that attempts to cover over any sense of introspection.

Not what it seems.

When growing up I was like "wow, America is so cool, everything I like is from there!".

As an adult I'm more "fuck that place, I never wanna go there again" (I was there on holiday years ago and was not impressed to say the least).

The freedom to choose from dozens of consumer products, but also the freedom to starve and not being able to access healthcare.

The wealthiest, most influential, most powerful and most privileged culture that ever was, with all that encompasses.
