Yeah, I'm of the firm opinion that the US is a second world plutocracy that masquerades as a first world democracy by using its military might.

The concept of being the best country in the world (American exceptionalism [0]) is not rooted in fact. In actuality, it's propaganda designed to keep people within US borders instead of seeing them flee to much greener pastures around the globe.
