American exceptionalism

[Vania]

A patriotism-based political belief that states that [the United States of America] is unique or exceptional when compared with the historical development of other countries, and is thus considered better than other countries regardless of context.
More extreme cases of this have led to white-washing of historical events, propaganda and [violation] of international law under the [pretense] that its not a crime when America does it.

[Julian]

[A tool] used to keep people satisfied with [not knowing] how much they are [being fucked] over.
