    The only thing in your nation’s DNA is war, imperialism and racism.

        “Might makes right” and White Supremacy are literally the values on top of which the US was created.

        Just ask Native Americans.

        The first one definitelly carries on very openly to this day (though nowadays it’s played a lot more with the power of money rather than outright use of force) whilst the second might seem to have gone away but judging by what’s being done now by the President elected by most Americans, clearly it did not, plus even the other bunch of the power duopoly that rules America were fine with that shit, though only abroad rather than home.

        I mean, really, I’m trying to come up with values others than those that are true across America and I can’t think of any. Some States and even cities have certain highly celebrated values, sure, but America as a whole, not really. Maybe Jingoism?
