Exceptionalism is a strange beast. Thinking this way only hurts society at large.

Thing what way? How is this exceptionalism? How have I implied in any way that the United States is different or better than other countries?

Sorry I was agreeing with you... Can see how you could read that in a way I didn't intend. My point was that by thinking the American way is the best already it stops healthy feedback loops.

"Usura rusteth the chisel. It rusteth the craft and the craftsman."
There were a few decades the country wasn't a glorified sheep shearing operation, but those days are long past.
As a country we've slowly-but-surely gotten so many things right, but we have a god damned long way to go, and it just feels like we're crawling. I guess with a population of 320 million it's kind of like trying to turn the Titanic.
