I’m not romanticizing American capitalism or American govt before the 1980s, but I can honestly tell you this: America wasn’t always the good guy but there was a general consensus we were supposed to be. When we weren’t, we were mentally healthy enough to hang our heads in shame.

Nothing you said here is true. The consensus was that women, children, blk ppl, foreigners, and poor ppl are worthless and society capitalized on this concept. This is how u got rich and famous!

... we don't need to hang our heads in shame [actually, I refuse too] ... we need to stop fighting wars for Israel and MIC ... we also need to stop the mass immigration of people who hate America ... only Congress needs to hang their heads in shame

Look at how bad it pains people on the left to compliment or speak highly of America. Can't even do it with some kind of word salad

We were carpet bombing Laos and Cambodia and Vietnam before the 1980s so I don't see your point here

The United States government has always acted with selfishness & malice. Within the USA & outside the USA; Native American, Slavery, taken other’s people land(Mexico), investing with troops other countries just because .I am one of your biggest follower.

"Mentally healthy enough to hang our heads in shame?" Please remind me when the USA did this- Was it about indigenous genocide? Chattel slavery? 3/5th compromise? Jim Crow? Chinese exclusion act? Children in cages?

Yes. And we still are supposed to be the good guys. The problem is that the system is so that the people who rise to power have to put that aside. We need a system that's more transparent and not based on the centralization of power.
