Americans are easily the most propaganda fed nation on earth.

Even the ones that don't like things like the pledge of allegiance or the nationalism at sports will just consider it some wacky and weird thing that their country just does and never as a symptom of fascism. Even the cool lib friends I've made, who I think are smart and nice people, are so heavily heavily indoctrinated that they cannot even comprehend the idea that people in another country might not want their country on top.
