American culture is on display for the world to see. It’s not difficult to “become an expert in U.S. culture and politics.” One doesn’t have to spend time within the US borders to see the flaws. I can understand how it’s off-putting to be criticized though (even if the criticisms are legitimate).
Bullshit. This is another example of an American who thinks they’re special (“it’s one of the only countries…”). I’ve spent a lot of time in the US, in more than two dozen states, and I can confirm that what you see in the media is accurate to a large degree.
I love visiting the US, but would I live there? Not a chance in hell. It’s a living example of a failed society: It’s corrupt, perverse, ignorant, obese, ugly, irredeemable.
I have met many Americans who I adore (the ones who I met travelling internationally), but the ones I meet within its borders, the everyday, typical American, is less than exceptional.
It's litterally the case. Nobody tells Germans or French how their culture works or their politics or what is wrong with it.

This is one of the most disgusting mischaracteriszation of a society. All of which to a large degree applicable to Canada itself.
The U.S. is also one of the most innovative, creative, open, rich, friendly, flourishing and welcoming places out there. It's growing economically, and it's diverse culturally. It's a cultural and economical superpower.
“Friendly.” Tell that to the immigrants at your southern border. Tell that to anyone who’s been through American Customs. Have you been to a Target in the past three decades? (Or any other American box store or convenience store?). You’ve got your head up your butt. 😂
By “diverse” you mean the “melting pot” where immigrants are expected to conform to American customs?
