Reading US history is just realizing we’ve been annoying shitheads the whole time and half the country lives in delusion about us being number one

the amount of times we have single handedly toppled foreign governments for the sake of maintaining economic power (through companies like United Fruit Co) in those countries is truly villainous

We didn’t do that for most of American history. The CIA wasn’t created until 1947

This and our founding documents are usually what people refer to when they are talking about what makes America great.
