      It’s like the inverse of American exceptionalism, it’s so weird. Improving people’s material conditions is more important than perpetuating ideology.

      I genuinely think we can thrive as a species under almost any economic system as long as companies are strictly regulated. Just fucking take care of people.

        Yes that’s definitely it. It’s people who have heard the stupid overly-patriotic American exceptionalism “America can do no wrong”, they know it’s obviously not true and so they switch to the reverse position of “America does all wrong” like it’s somehow more true.
