It’s so toxic how they always talk about efforts to keep America the best this or the best that.
They talk as if for them the priority is to do everything (even moraly wrong things) to make America be the best at everything, being human progress only a byproduct of this competition.
They also talk as if America be the best at everything is necessary for the world to be “right”; as if this is something inherently good.
It makes sense when your ideology is that it’s not just morally permissible but morally good to participate in “competition” to decide who is an isn’t immiserated.
