again, Americans are commonly indoctrinated to turn vastly more critical eyes on everyone else than they would allow to be seen with themselves in ordee to sustain a delusion of American exceptionalism.
You think other nations don't teach their citizens to be critical of other nations, including the US?
other nations are not global hegemons, the effects of their provincial egoism does not harm the whole world.
