This is the freest and most just nation on Earth. Nowhere in the world are the poor or mal-adapted treated better and nowhere on Earth do normal people have more opportunity to live a happy life. Nowhere on Earth can small business thrive like it does here.
Our history is something to be proud of, as we have generally not fought wars of conquest and we never became an Empire, we fought wars to either protect ourselves or our ideals.

Feel pride when you see that flag this weekend, this is the greatest country on Earth.

I disagree entirely. Mercenaries get paid, but we end up footing the bill for our stupid foreign adventures. We're just corrupt and ruled by special interests.

"I also think that we're seeing the end of US Neocon foreign policy"
Not yet. Trump was against it which is why we're seeing a break from it. If HRC was POTUS we would have had plenty of wars. But for it to truly end the US is going to need a disaster. But I think that is actually coming.

"there is nothing to say that the US ceasing to be World Police is going to usher in an era of world peace"

Of course not. I don't think anyone is claiming this.

1. Considering recent events, it's not defensive, it's just saying what needs to be said.
2. Oh yea? Link to the US colonizing the world like prominent European countries did. Or link to the US engaging in Napoleonic conquests of other nations, or impressing other country's citizens into service, etc. etc. etc. In context to other nations we have a lot to be proud of.

2. The entire US is built on conquered land and manifest destiny was the name of the game for many generations of early Americans. Which is fine, that's all major powers to some degree. But the US also overthrows unfriendly governments and replaces them with more manageable governments all the time. Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya, etc., while using covert ops to try to overthrow govs in Venezuela and Iran. Meanwhile we create and support "friendly" governments like Israel. Pretending that the US isn't one of the biggest players of this game is silly. The fact that the US didn't play the African colonies game has more to do with the fact that the US became a power of that extent in the 20th century, by which point that game was over. The US actually tried to get into that game in the Philippines before saying fuck it.
I agree with the previous poster. We love the US because it is ours and provides us with a good QOL and freedom, not because it is somehow the most moral. It isn't but I don't really care and you shouldn't either. But if it stops being free and ours and providing us with a good QOL then it will be time to leave.

Free your mind from mental slavery. The US fought wars to exist, including wars to establish territorial boundaries. This is a pretext to having a nation. All nations, at some point, had to establish themselves. When I say "as a nation we should be proud," that means that we are "a nation."
I don't love Neocon foreign policy but the time since WWII has been the most peaceful time western nations have ever seen in recorded history and it was US leadership that ushered, and preserved, this peace.

I would argue that you're far more in a "mental slavery" mindset than I am. I see things for what they are instead of trying to shoehorn everything into "good guys" and "bad guys."
The US didn't merely "fight wars to exist." The US fought wars for expansion, for power, for influence, for resources, etc. Same as all the other great powers. Yes, that's how you become a great power but there's no need to pretend that the US was somehow different here just because we never got into African colonialism (except for Liberia, now that I think about it).

"I don't love Neocon foreign policy but the time since WWII has been the most peaceful time western nations have ever seen in recorded history and it was US leadership that ushered, and preserved, this peace."

Yeah, not sure that is really "US leadership" so much as MAD created by all the major powers having nuclear weapons + widely available birth control leading to people having only 1-2 kids in the US, the USSR, China and Europe. But for that, I don't think there's any doubt we would have had WW3 between the Communist powers and the West.

Mental Slavery is giving into the popular myth of the US having a shameful history. It's drilled into your head by pop culture. Our history is amazing if you look at it and leftist arguments re: how horrible the US is almost always fall apart upon really looking at the facts.

You may be misunderstanding me. I'm not saying the "US has a shameful history." I'm saying the very mindset of "perfect history" vs. "shameful history" is silly mental slavery. You don't have to shoehorn history into "good" and "bad" boxes. History is history. Every great power has a history of conquest, colonies, etc. Great moments and not so great moments. Give me a country and I'll happily tell you the bad things they did at some point to someone.
What makes a country worthwhile isn't that they have a perfect history, but the freedoms and QOL they afford their citizens and the sense of belonging that those citizens feel to that nation-state. This is where the US is failing (no one really feels American anymore, freedoms are falling away, future generations are probably going to live worse than prior ones, etc.). Not because of an imperfect history, as though a perfect history exists anywhere. Ask any Russian if they think Russia has a "perfect" history and they'll laugh. It doesn't mean they don't love their country or their people. Replace Russia with China or Poland or Israel or whatever and it'll be the same story. I deliberately excluded western countries because this particular disease is afflicting Western Civ. But your entire game here actually plays into the lib mindset.

Exactly. But remember the endgame here. Libs just want to be able to say all the founding fathers were racists, therefore the US constitution is racist, therefore we can get rid of it. There's no reason to preserve any American traditions, the constitution or anything American because it is all bad. That's the point they're driving towards. The response to that isn't "but our history is actually really good!" It is "fuck you lib, this is ours and you can't have it."

To be fair, they attacked us because we were backing their enemies in China. It wouldn't actually be accurate to say it was unprovoked.
This isn't to say the US did the wrong thing there and that we shouldn't be proud of defeating what was at the time a truly great power. But you're trying to make everything black and white, with the US this perfect snowflake on the side of good against a horde of evil that without the US would simply create a hellscape Mad Max world. But that's just propaganda. IRL, the US primarily exists to benefit Americans and American elites. Just like all nations do.

idk if I feel particularly bad for the Japanese either. They invaded China as part of their expansionist policies (they already conquered Korea and a significant part of Manchuria), the US realized that was not a great situation so we backed the Chinese, the Japanese attacked us because they figured we were pussies and wouldn't really fight them and they lost that bet. We nuked them to force a surrender with minimal costs to us and also to send a warning to the USSR, which was already grabbing Japanese territories and obviously thinking about grabbing more in Europe and maybe the ME. Overall, the US came out looking good but it was also a case of the US doing what was in its best interests throughout.

Not sure what's the dispute here - if you're implying yeah we just cleared europe of hitler only to hand it over to stalin, then fine exclude the soviet union
But in terms of moral culpability, ww2 stands out in ways that are very unique in this regard to other major wars (ww2's contemporaries). Eg the losing side killed the most people, something like ~80% of deaths, overwhelmingly civilians. The u.s., britain, and soviet union were allies in that they were all attacked by german / japanese aggression. (again soviets were collaborators so they gunk stuff up). The ruthless efficiency of the concentration camps and the behavior of the japanese army (mass genocide, sexual enslavement etc) was a stark contrast to the behavior of the western democracies...

If you're just throwing the soviet union like a hot potato on the ally side and saying "lol none of that applies" you're being disingenuous - any halfway sober analysis of the war will produce far more clear moral boundaries than in most wars, which was all his point was

When the war was basically over? how was it basically over? Effectively over is not the same thing as close to surrendering.... And the various methods to bring that about were not all equally efficient.


They were finding dudes in the jungles into the 60s and 70s still fighting WW2 for the emperor.... Hiroo Onoda being the most famous case in '72 I believe. The point being - even after the first two nukes there was internal division / very powerful factions opposing the Emperor that didn't want to surrender - Tojo himself for starters.

What counterfactual scenarios are you imagining in place of delivering the two atomic bombs?

Curtis LeMay was going to park almost our entire fleet of B-29s off the Marianas and run round the clock fire bombings of Japan.

Also lest we forget - Japan was genociding ~20,000 Chinese, Laotian, Vietnamese, etc per week at that point. The numbers keep getting revised upwards every decade or so but latest is something like 15 million civilians killed by Japan.

There are many ways to look at the Cold War and I don't think the perspective of "this was a way to expand power and influence" is necessarily wrong.
"looking at the state of radical leftism, they don't seem very defeated"

I really do agree with the people saying that this is actually the offspring of an old KGB program from the 1960s.

B/c Vietnam is seen and discussed almost exclusively through the lens of people who watched vietnam transpire in their living rooms, as opposed to viewing the war through its complete historical / geopolitical context. In that way it is very much detached from the cold war b/c the american experience with vietnam became about so many other issues.
It's nuts to think they just let reporters go chill with dudes under fire, then of course the effects of only having one sides atrocities broadcast to the world while the other side, kept an iron grip on the information it released out into the world where people just saw their swamp hospitals and not their vc communist atrocities

This is a totally different goalpost. You wrote "Nowhere in the world are the poor or mal-adapted treated better and nowhere on Earth do normal people have more opportunity to live a happy life." If you're a normal poor you are far better off there than here. You will get a well paying job with real benefits and vacation and if somehow you fail to, you'll get welfare and public housing and free healthcare in a pretty safe area. I'm not saying those are great policies for the US, but I am noting that if you're "poor or mal-adapted", that their setup where they spend on social services is far better than what we have here.

Solid challenge. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_GDP_%28PPP%29_per_capita
So I guess you have Qatar and UAE, Singapore, and Brunei as candidates. I don't know enough about any of these places to really comment. All are small, fairly homogenous, and next to powerful neighbors that could pwn them.

Among the nations who built empires, we are by far the most decent and humane. Yes, we should be proud because ameirca is ours. We should also have pride in our history and what we accomplished.
Edit: i will add the brits did ok too. But we are an extension of their history to some degree, even on 4th of july. Read up some time on how the dutch and the spanish ran their colonies.

Of course.

"France and England were once empires but no one would call them empires today, yet they both had military bases in other continents."

No one would call them empires today because their power has declined massively and they lost the overwhelming majority of their overseas holdings. The US is an empire because our power and scope is truly global, and it is exercised to control nations and governments around the world. Governments that are vulnerable and problematic to the US get overthrown. We usually offer some sort of pretense that may or may not end up total BS ("there are WMDs in Iraq!" "we have to overthrow the Libyan government so Libya is peaceful!"). But all empires do this shit.

They're not empires because they have no real overseas holdings.
The US is an empire because it controls numerous countries around the world and can get its way in global affairs through military might. As others have said, the fact that we rule this way instead of through direct colonies isn't important. This is generally how the USSR was an empire as well.

Yeah I think this is right - it has more to do with the timing of our rise than some special moral fortitude that's both uniquely american and non-european...
I.e. America's true might and influence came of age in a postwar world where that way of doing business was no longer acceptable - for a variety of reasons but probably most significantly the change in global media / importance of global public opinion, and especially after millions of lives were sacrificed fighting against Japanese imperialism and German fascism, i.e. fighting for the freedom of others.... we weren't about to turn around and start colonizing territories in such postwar environment.

But make no mistake - America has a global economic empire that wields incredible influence and power with all its might, just in a modern sophisticated manner rather than African colonial holdings....

And by the way, other Euro nations didn't get out of the colonial game because of morality - they just couldn't afford it. It was horribly expensive and the costs exceeded the benefits. So they "gave the countries independence." But they still got what they really wanted (the resources, for example) by offering "foreign aid" in exchange for their companies retaining access to the resources, which is what they really want.

Exactly.
My fiancee is from a family that's pretty well connected in central american country (eg high up in central banks, her and her siblings have top u.s. educations and have worked for the world bank / IMF etc) - and the corruption and dynamics in the foreign aid programs are just straight up a more sophisticated version of "colonial governor" mechanics w/ native networks. e.g. following the policies we want, allowing corporations access to labor / resources etc. Interestingly - the corruption ensures that the incentives are correctly aligned between the two parties, America distributing aid, and the administrators receiving the aid who set policies, grant corporations access to cheap labor, resources like mineral rights etc.

The US is the greatest country on earth but a handful of others are probably actually better to live in as an average person. I would much rather be an average person in the Netherlands or Norway than the US. But if you aspire to more and are willing to take risks there are things possible here that are not possible almost anywhere else. Elon Musk or any number of countless anonymous success stories are almost impossible in any of the counties that are better for the average person.

1. As many in this thread have already pointed out, there are quite a few first world countries where life is better for ordinary middle and working class people. I have family in France, Germany, and Italy and can attest to that. Some of them live in rural places with no real industry or commerce but still enjoy a quality of life that is easily on par with or better than the American middle class. Their equivalents in the US live in rural shitholds that the US has long abandoned. Abandoning entire communities is a US trademark not typical of other first word countries.
2. The US is a more benevolent power than past empires. I do think the US catches more shit than it deserves in this regard.

3. American style capitalism (boot-straps and the American Dream (TM)) may have worked fairly well in the past but it’s failing in the face of a modern economy that exacerbates the income and wealth inequality problem that is inherent in the system. Young people are far less patriotic and more likely to embrace alternative ideologies as it becomes more obvious that they will, in the aggregate, be worse off than prior generations.

Comments pointing out that poor people in monoethnic nordic states have it better are dumb. They are 5 million people, oil rich, and entirely homogeneous.
And Germany and France and most of Europe have much stricter immigration requirements so they don't have the same level of poor to begin with.

Then you have other countries like Japan that don't even allow immigration in the first place much less from poor people, and others like Australia where it's also difficult to immigrate.

The US is basically open borders, or was before 6 months ago, and the people who come here are poor. Even legal immigration is chain migration, not that of Canada or other euro countries based on merit.

OP is right but it's not even a fair comparison to begin with, because the other countries dont take the truly poor to begin with, and we do, in enormous, demographically changing, legal and illegal, numbers.
