I’m an American. I can confirm we are the worst. When I travel in Europe my ears and brain hurt when I hear the screechy loud American voices clashing against the environment as they walk by on the street or in a restaurant.

Because of the language and cultural differences I was able to keep up the delusion for quite a while that people in other countries are somehow better than in my home country or that their systems are better. That slowly came down and then got ripped down hard in the last year of my traveling to Europe. People are just as good/bad as where I’m from and their systems just as susceptible to corruption and degeneration.
