  3. I think the idea that America was always "On top of the world, world's number 1 best at everything" has always been a joke.

    I think the idea that America was always "On top of the world, world's number 1 best at everything" has always been a joke. Different countries are "the best in the world" at different things. Like, look up any list on Wikipedia "by country" and maybe you'll get that.

    If you're still spouting "But America was best in the world at everything" nonsense - you're probably lost... and it's probably all just about Americans losing their illusions about American greatness.

    America is great, but lots of people wouldn't want to live there, and it's far from being the world's number 1 at everything.
