Once again I am scratching my head a bit . Sure , some may respect America . I respect America . I also respect UK , Canada , Poland , Australia and Ecuador . And really , saved Europe on multiple occasions ? We all would be Russians ? That you are top dogs ? I , completely honest now , just thought this is what trolls said when they mimic American nationalism . It actually is quite funny . I can honestly say that I think extremely few view America as the top dogs . Yes , you would have won a cultural victory in Civ , but as a guy who isn ' t 100 % straight I wouldn ' t want to live in America . As a guy who believe that separation of church and state is very important , I wouldn ' t want to live in America . As a guy who thinks guns are tools to kill people and are quite scary , I wouldn ' t want to live in America . Than again , my family is quite rich , so I woudn ' t really suffer that much . A close friend of mine isn ' t as lucky . He have just become a father , and close to that he had to remove his appendix . He have been raised by a single mother who have worked as a cleaner here and there . I am 100 % that he wouldn ' t have an health insurance if he was American . Here he didn ' t have to pay a dime . In America he would be , as far as I understand it , royally fucked . Once again , I am not hating on America . I quite like it on the time I have visited it . But I actually think it is something a little wrong with nationalism , at least when it take form of the notion that your country is the top dog and that other countries are inferior to yours . Or when you get offended when people criticize your country online .
