How does a narrative like this even get established? America was built by rebels, pioneers, and entrepreneurs, all of whom had, at some point, travelled thousands of miles into the unknown with nothing but a suitcase of clothes and their wits.
That's why America is so awesome. It was built by a proportion of the global gene pool brave enough to take risks and make huge sacrifices.

I think it's instilled from them from an early age to love their country so they would hear the national anthem and salut the flag at school, stand with their hands on their hearts for the national anthem, etc, whereas other countries don't really care enough about all that. Maybe it's to do with the age of America compared to old European cultures.

They used to play the national anthem here in the cinema before a movie started and one of my exes refused to stand and would boo instead. Super embarrassing and immature. They did away with that custom over 30 years ago now.

Actually I think the other countries that ours resembles that does that are communist countries.
Like they have things of school age children praising pictures of their Dear Leaders or singing the praises of their country that they think is the best, same as ours, or saluting the flag.
And we point a finger at them blaming them for brainwashing their kids that way as we ignore it when we do it to ours.
