That's not true. America was never that good. Since WW2, America has stood for "We're the best, fuck you". It's why America became World Police. The many wars to line their pockets, the selling of arms to violent dictators, causing instability in South America.

Land of the free was always warped bullshit. Native Americans knew that forever. Blacks during slavery. Chinese Americans during the gold rush. Japanese Americans in WW2. Most of the US in Vietnam war/Iraq war.

America has become "that thing" since forever. But like Brad Pitt, we got good PR to cover all of our abuses. Maybe less now.
