Ya think?
Americans are pretty unconcerned, uninterested, distracted.
All that peace and prosperity stuff is leftist and they ain't no commies! Short brutal lives and no alternatives! Lolz.
It's easy to pretend it ain't no empire and that you ain't complicit. Everyone does that ot they're bullied!

@Roundandroundwego I think some of them like to imagine the USA is still the World's Keeper, and whether concerned or not, do not believe it could ever lose that "status".
They call all sorts of things "Commie" ("Communist" has lots of syllables) but I read much of that as merely sneering at anything with which they disagree, or is foreign so is strange to them - or is beneath their dignity.
I don't suppose they see the irony in the activities of the "House Un-American Activities Committee" forever associated, rightly or wrongly and at least among other countries, with Senator MacArthy; though that did operate at the height of the Cold War fears when the real foe was the USSR with its avowedly Communist expansionist desires.
Now, what the Americans do in, and to, their own nation is their business, but sadly, many of those you highlight do not seem to realise they are only dragging down the international reputation of their own country.
