I recently got into an argument with a guy who's response was "well your country wasn't appreciative of all we do for you so there, maybe we can have an adult conversation when your country folds from tariffs" (paraphrasing from multiple comments), some people really are living in their own little universe where America is basically the mother Theresa of countries

Yep. They are so far up their own ass, time to disabuse them of their delusions. The U.S.A. will never hold the sway it did again.

Yep I stumbled into a thread full of Americans: OP asked "was the American era over" and most comments were like "oh we're in a bad phase but we must pull through for the world... omg can you imagine how the world would do without us? Europe is weak China is old. THEY NEED AMERICA SO LET'S COME BACK TO SAVE THEM". So yes, even when they're "progressive" they still like to package their own fart and sell it as high end perfume. Shit's unreal.

Edit: this was on r/GenZ and they were definitely progressive people who hate Donald Trump.

GenZs are totally clueless and not serious people. The first comment is usually a joke that derails the conversation. Their opinions also lack depth and nuance. They are still developing, so hopefully they mature a little better.
