Eh, the biggest contributor to American dominance is the bombing of Hiroshima and an absurd military force that's used to hold the world hostage. That allowed us to partake in a lot of global exploitative behaviour that amounts to imperialism. Domestically, the oligarchy doesn't exactly strike me as fair and square.

Congratulations on being a grown up, but don't use that as an excuse to ignore the very real terrible **** that America is built on.
