That’s my guess - wasn’t there a US news anchor recently saying that everyone on earth should strive to be part of the US? It’s that kind of propaganda that messes with the perception of identity.

I’m Canadian and maybe there’s shit I think about us that’s warped by our media, but my only perception of how the world perceives us is “goofy friendly hockey cold sorry” - so I don’t think we have a sense of national pride fueled by our media lol

As a non-american, where have you been hearing praise? Outside of the US, the US is mostly considered embarrassing and terrible. I’m thinking it’s the internal propaganda of “american exceptionalism” that misguides americans into thinking the world loved them before Trump

Same - instead sounds like they want to classify dissenters as mentally unwell so they can be locked-away or deported like the rest.

Awesome!

Or something a little more extreme…

Lmfao good.
