  1. There is a reason why the system in the US keeps telling the public they are the best, it's a form of subduing the public into not making real change that would make things better for the average Americans, by assuming you're the best, change is less likely to happen and that isn't going to change until Americans realize they are not the best. It's also why the system hits Americans over the head constantly with patriotism all the time, the system is designed to manipulate the people into not questioning the system to change. Being as I'm a European that's lived in both the EU and US over the years, you really start to see where the real flaws are on both systems as well as the good parts of them and overall, Europeans don't realize how lucky they have it, I know they love to complain about everything but after seeing both side, Europeans have it much better and maybe it's that complaining on why they have it better as it pushes change for the better. Also, remember, if a system has to keep re-enforcing how great you are, you know deep down something is wrong in the system, after all, if you are truly good, you don't need constant reassurance on it all the time, in a sense, it kind of reminds me of those macho guys that think they are gods gift and once under pressure, they brake lol, in any case, Europeans know they are great, at least Europeans in the EU, but they don't feel the need to broadcast it to others in a form of self insecurity which is more or less what we see in the US, maybe that is because of the impact of the second world war changed Europeans for the better. My advice to Americans, live in some rich European countries for a few years and it will open your eyes to how the world really is and you might understand why so many around the world are perplexed about the US and it's sad that many others laugh at the US grand delusions of themselves.
