    I kinda feel like r*dditors and USians are quick to criticize their own country and government to ‘get ahead’ of the criticism by others and continue to hold the moral high ground. Like, in the marketplace of ideas you’ll see it somewhere, not emphasized but mentioned, and then that’s more or less enough.
