      Places that are not the usa have known this for decades. Ever wonder why nobody outside the usa buys your milk ? The meat is, uh, something. The list goes on.

        Yeah, I spent 20 years living outside the US. The ignorance, even the “good” people, about the rest of the world has been painful to me for most of my adult life. It’s been really weird hearing all this rah-rah USA! USA! shit every time I moved back and just experiencing a place getting shittier every time. I’ve had way too many fellow Americans ask, “If it’s so bad here, where else in the world is as good?” That type of ignorance. Most of us can’t even imagine the idea of there being better countries. Propaganda is a hell of a drug.
