He had me up until he started talking about how America used to be great. When was America ever great? After the revolutionary war when we were committing genocide against the natives and utilizing African Americans as slaves? After WW2 when we, along with the Soviets pushed the human race to the brink of armageddon?
No nation is ever "great". This is the biggest lie we've ever told ourselves as a society. Nations are nothing more than a collection of people and there are no great or small people- just people. People can do great things yes, but they can also do evil things. As nations we tend to do too much of the latter. And why are Americans so obsessed with being the "greatest"? Why are other nations? It's not a fucking competition. This is life, this is humanity. We should be trying to be the best that we can and if we are, then it doesn't if we're the "greatest" or not. Let's drop the jingoist bullshit and start acting not like Americans or Chinese or Russians but like human beings.

This video, man. It honestly feels like a parody. The woman writing "IT'S NOT" and "BUT IT CAN BE" on the small white board, the camera zooming in on her like it's a comedy film, the retarded part where the EMOTIONAL soundtrack kicks in and the guy is talking about how it used to great...

When you're so far up your own ass a character saying your country is not the greatest in the world is remarkable, let alone revolutionary.
