It was artificially inflated for decades until peasant’s situation declined to the point that almost no one was dumb enough to swallow the whole, hard pushed “American Exceptionalism” horseshit anymore.
You would have to suffer a head injury to be proud of this cesspool of inequality and racism, built on foundations of genocide and slavery, whose modern core values can be summed up in 2 words: greed and schadenfreude.
Even the one thing everyone points to about how noble they proclaim we are, World War 2, wasn’t noble at all. We had to be catastrophically attacked to finally be willing to do the right thing. That isn’t noble, that’s just what you do when under threat, fight back. Noble would have been fighting the Nazis before the Japanese (thankfully) made the greatest strategic military blunder of the 20th century.
We were ever even there? Damn, rest of the world must be pretty unhappy

Yeah, almost everywhere else has to endure US-Imperialism
That is… ironically, a very American centric view for someone who is so pessemsic about America.
