America runs on rationalization, always has. No other way to achieve that "exceptionalist" mindset. Then the argument always wilts into, "well yeah but everyone else was doing it too". Fair enough. America is just another nation state on the planet currently. It too shall pass.Texas sounds rather dysfunctional, one would think they would be on top of this, did they just relocate next to Mexico?
Is there ANY aspect of America that actually meets your satisfaction?
Is there any aspect of american society that has ever lived up to america's own lofty rhetoric? I can't pretend to believe in untruths for the comfort of others.
Rationalization / cop out. Expected of you. How could your own beliefs POSSIBLY bring any comfort to any other? That is the height of hubris. Name me ANY country that has ever lived up to its own lofty rhetoric? NONE I can think of unless their ideals are pretty low. But I prefer a country which sets it goals higher than it can reach, so long as it is always reaching, and the American people are, that is, the ones that actually contribute and seek self-actualization rather than just sit around mewling like a baby blaming the world for their own inadequacies.
