See, the difference between the USA and other developed democracies is that the rest of us believe in fundamental inalienable human rights.

Americans on the other hand, believe in fundamental inalienable *american* rights.

To clarify:

Where people in places like Canada and Europe see human rights as something fundamentally just that ought to be respected for all sentient beings as a moral imperative...


Americans see freedoms as some kind of mystical american birthright given to American citizens by legendary demi-god 18th century father figures, because the american constitution is "magic" and exceptionalism makes america "special".
This is pretty much the root of all the jingoistic and morally bankrupt behavior that Americans engage in on a regular basis, both personally and collectively as a nation.

To these people, rights and freedoms aren't something real to be valued and exercised and pursued as a moral imperative -- they're a shiny object they can polish and put on a shelf and say 'hahah look how awesome it is, and how special it makes me feel!'

As a result, Americans value theoretical rights on-paper over real-world rights in practice, and show a brutal lack of respect for the rights of anyone who isn't American.


For Americans, the concept of freedom is so mystical and abstracted, that they actually are capable of feeling good about having the 'right' to purchase things that they'll never ever *ever* be able to afford.

They don't mind being fucked by people with money and power, so long as they could theoretically acquire the same money and power... not that they every will. They have the 'right' and they feel good about that, but it's essentially meaningless.


Oh don't get me wrong: Americans "value" american rights -- but not in a concrete sense. To them they're valuable the same way a 'soul' is valuable -- in a totally meaningless, completely abstract, utter bullshit sort of way.

Social and economic mobility is more available than ever, difference being distribution of information on how to attain said status is incredibly limited, not due to constraints within society but moreso a self-defeatist mentality among the population. Everyone constantly hears economic mobility is reducing, but no one actually bothers to go out into the world and attempt to improve themselves. If they do, they usually go about it the wrong way (getting a job or multiple jobs etc etc.). It's a mess, really.

As of 2015: "New Zealand was ranked number one for offering the highest level of freedom worldwide, followed by the Netherlands then Hong Kong. Australia, and Ireland tied for fourth spot, with the United States and Denmark tied for seventh. The lowest-ranked countries were Zimbabwe, Myanmar, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, and Syria."

fuck off burger your gun laws are retarded. i guess you'll need another school-shooting or maniac going on a rampage to understand that there is a reason behind strict gun laws in eu. like half your gun "enthusiasts" in US just pray everyday that someone assaults them so they can shoot and kill. in EU nobody "normal" needs a gun. if you need a gun, it's because you are in a certain situation in life. and then you'll also know how to get one illegally too. fucking retard burger.

>being a citizen of the most successful nation/empire in history
based on what? numbers? numbers inflated with the new economic system, the amount of people breeding and technology. I don't think you have shit on any real historical empire tbqf.

>having the best media production (movies, games, books, etc.) in the world made for you
