i'm surprised we were that high to begin with, and that we've dropped so low
i don't see people constantly hating on america, nor did i see people talk particularly highly about it in the past, all i see is politicians being a constant level of placatingly neutral

When I was growing up, I lived in Germany for 10 years as my dad was a civilian employee of the Army. Back then I missed being home, but now that the US has fully shit the bed I'm glad I was able to experience the perspective of being outside the US. It's so huge and has had so much influence for so long that it's easy to think of it as the center of the universe when you're living here. I know better. And now I wish I had the means to be outside of it again and stay there.
